Deep Cuts Classical with Town Quartet Collective

Tammy Dyer, Rebecca Wishnia, Jacob Hansen-Joseph, and Lewis Patzner, are performing a concert of string quartet music by lesser known composers in the Classical Era, Asplmayr, Eybler, and Eberl. For a century, we have been content with just Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and maybe a smattering of Boccherini, for our Classical Era string quartet fix, and that music is great, but their output is a small percentage of the music written at that time in this genre. In the digital age, we now have unparalleled access to a vast amount of sheet music in the public domain. Musicians, musicologists, and audiences, are now tasked with sorting through this unfamiliar music, and curation is needed. This concert is one step towards answering the question: What is the best Classical Era string quartet music by people other than the most famous composers?
