Widely hailed as one of the best chamber groups performing today, the Dover Quartet presents a captivating and emotionally stirring program of classic quartet repertoire. Mozart’s D Major Quartet, written for the King of Prussia, puts a spotlight on the king’s instrument: the cello. Schumann’s A minor quartet has no shortage of fireworks, and in Tchaikovsky’s first string quartet, which features the famed Andante Cantabile, the group displays their tenderest, sweetest sounds on some of the finest of Russian melodies.
