The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival opens Monday July 21 with the legendary American String Quartet, famous for their complete cycles on record of Mozart, Beethoven Brahms, Schoenberg, Bartók and more. Flautist and festival director Linda Chesis joins them for the Suite Basque by Charles Bordes (with a lovely story of how she found it) alongside the first of Mozart's Prussian quartets and Brahms' glorious Op.111, his intended swan-song, the String Quintet in G.
Mozart: String Quartet No.22 in B-flat, K.589
Bordes: Suite Basque, Op.6
Brahms: String Quintet No. 2 in G , Op.111
