Friends of Chamber Music Presents Emerson Quartet with Eric Wilson, the cellist

Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in G major, Opus 33, No.5 “Russian”
Dmitri Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 12 in D-flat major, Opus 133
Franz Schubert: String Quintet in C Major, Opus 163, D956

This concert marks the end to our felicitous 43-year relationship with this much-loved ensemble. We have been enthralled by their musical presence in thirty-four outstanding concerts since 1979. Their finale will include founding member Eric Wilson joining the Quartet to perform Schubert’s sublime cello quintet. “The Emerson performances represented an extraordinary fusion of experience and authority with audacity and freshness.”(The Boston Globe)
