Concentus Moraviae: Quartetto di Cremona & Peter Jarůšek / violoncello

Since its foundation in 2000, the Quartetto di Cremona has built a worldwide reputation as a virtuoso and progressive chamber ensemble. Our festival is also pleased that the quartet's violist – Simone Gramaglia – is one of this year's dramaturgs, as is cellist Peter Jarůšek. Together, the gentlemen will perform a masterpiece of the chamber repertoire – Schubert's String Quintet in C major, sometimes called the "cello quintet" – the author unusually uses two cellos, creating a rich lower register and at times evoking an orchestral impression.
