January 29, 2023 | Polsky Theatre
Past Event
Described as a “brilliant young string quartet” by London’s Spectator and giving “certainly passionate performances” by The Kansas City Star, Opus 76 Quartet is proud to return to MTC as artists-in-residence.
Program
- String Quartet No. 22 in B-flat major, K. 589
- Film screening of “Amadeus”
The quartet’s residency, which began as digital artists-in-residence in 2021, saw the group embark on a number of critically acclaimed recording projects in partnership with MTC as part of its innovative digital concert series, “Eat, Drink, Play!”
Adding to its previous recordings of “The Complete Works for String Quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven,” (broadcast live on Kansas Public Radio (KPR) in 2020), Opus 76 recorded Mendelssohn’s Op. 44 No. 1, Schubert’s Quintet in C, Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F minor, Mozart’s Quintet No. 3 in C Major, Bartók’s Quartet No. 1 and Mozart’s “The Six Quartets Dedicated to Haydn,” a project also supported by KPR.
In addition to a national touring schedule, as part of its residency the Quartet runs The Sunrise Program, which provides a year of free lessons and performance opportunities to selected students in the Kansas City metro area.
