CSEM presents Viennese Impressions: String Quartets from the Age of Enlightenment with the Arrow Qu

For the 2025-26 season finale, CSEM is proud to present the Arrow Quartet, an up-and-coming string quartet founded in 2021 by students from Juilliard’s Historical Performance program with a concert of eighteenth century string quartet works!

The Arrow Quartet brings a passion for expanding the classical repertoire and discovering the historical intersections between classical chamber works and music that was performed outside of the concert hall. Viennese Impressions focuses on Mozart’s String Quartet in E-flat major, K. 428, one of six quartets he dedicated to Haydn, often referred to as “the father of the string quartet.” From there, the program also explores the works of lesser-known composers Guiseppe Cambini and Franz Xaver Richter. Prolific and popular in their time, both of these composers also made vital contributions to the development of the string quartet in the 18th. century.
