Haydn's Surprise, and Mozart Too!
Fortepianist Tamara Friedman and the Op. 20 String Quartet play Mozart's Concerto in E-flat major, K. 449 (1782-83) using a replica of a 1795 Anton Walter grand fortepiano and warm, gut-strung string instruments of the period.
This ensemble, joined by Courtney Westcott on a wooden, one-key Classical flute, perform Haydn's beloved Surprise Symphony in an unique version for small ensemble.
Rounding out the program will be one of Haydn's delightful, pathbreaking Op. 20 String Quartets.
This unique event is the final program on Gallery Concerts' 25th Anniversary Season of innovative concerts presented with time-traveling historic instruments in an intimate, acoustically rich setting.
A pre-concert "Discussion," led by Artistic Director and UW Professor George Bozarth, will begin 45 minutes prior to the concert
