Concentus Moraviae: Pavel Haas Quartet & K. Dohnal, T. Františ, P. Vojta, P. Ries

Those expecting an octet made up of two quartets will be surprised by the unusual instrument combination on stage: the string quartet is complemented by a clarinet, French horn, bassoon and double bass! Schubert's masterpiece pushed the boundaries of chamber music, magnificent and intimate at the same time, a six-movement gem for all music lovers, which Schubert composed two hundred years ago at the request of the Viennese nobleman Ferdinand Troyer, an enthusiastic clarinetist. At its fourth residency concert, the Pavel Haas Quartet will perform it together with four musical friends, masters of their instruments.
