Emergence Quartet: Opera by Four

Event Details

In Mozart’s time the otherworldly sounds of The Magic Flute universe were created by violins with sheep gut strings and snakewood bows. The acclaimed Boston based period instrument ensemble, the Emergence Quartet, comes to the Library to perform music by composers of Mozart’s era on instruments Mozart would have recognized. Join us for a concert of works by Haydn and Richter, plus a fascinating compilation of Magic Flute arias, arranged to be played for home entertainment in 1800.
