Friends of Chamber Music welcomes the Notos Quartet from Germany for its debut concert with the organization at the Vancouver Playhouse on Sunday, March 2 at 3 pm.

Composed of piano, violin, viola, and cello, the Notos Quartet presents a rare opportunity to see a piano quartet in concert. The group will play three masterpieces for piano quartet, starting with Mozart’s gorgeous Piano Quartet in E-flat major, K. 493. William Walton’s Piano Quartet in D minor, his only work of early chamber music, will follow. The performance will finish with Schumann’s symphonic Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47.

The Notos Quartet is among the most celebrated chamber ensembles to emerge in recent years. It has been described by Germany’s Schwäbische Zeitung newspaper as “a musical sensation, highly virtuosic, with verve and spirit”, and by Die Rheinphalz newspaper as “ecstatic, elegant, explosive, and cultivated”.

Tickets are available through Friends of Chamber Music.
