Chamber Music Concerts presents Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (violin, viola, cello, clarinet)

Composed a century apart and similarly inspired by virtuoso clarinetists, the Clarinet Quintets of Mozart and Brahms are among the most popular works on the chamber music stage, yet rarely do they appear on the same program. This concert offers clarinet chamber music at its absolute pinnacle. Mozart and Brahms were seduced by the clarinet’s pristine purity, and both created works that breathe the same tranquil, autumnal air.
