The set list will include Haydn’s “Quartet in D major, Opus 64, No. 5, ‘The Lark’”; Janacek’s “Quartet No. 1, ‘Kreutzer’”; and Beethoven’s “Quartet in E-flat major, Opus 127.”
“This will be the first opportunity for local audiences to hear the latter in the 34-year history of Chamber Music in Yellow Springs,” said Celia Diamond, the group’s publicity chair.
The Calidore String Quartet won’t finish there. On Monday, the group will do an outreach program at Yellow Springs’ Mills Lawn Elementary School. Diamond said the goal is to promote music learning and help build the future classical music audience.
