Kneisel Quartet Concert Altered by Stormy Weather
Last night in Association Hall the Kneisel quartet delivered a memorable program despite a storm that kept many regulars away. Beethoven’s F minor quartet replaced Brahms sextet op 36 due to Keller’s absence, with Cesar Franck’s violin piano sonata highlighted as a standout. Kneisel and Aus der Ohe gave an exceptional performance, and Beethoven’s quartets in D major op 18 and in minor closed the program faultlessly. The seventh concert in the series is scheduled for Monday March 13.
