February 12, 2021 - Virtual Concert Series Newsletter

This week’s concert draws from a concert in Jordan Hall on February 23 by the Borromeo Quartet and Paula Robison of chamber music by Mozart for flute and strings. Five selections from that concert make up this week’s virtual concert. First comes the Flute Quartet in C major, K. 285b, followed by Mozart’s String Quartet in G major, K. 387. Then comes another flute quartet, the Flute Quartet in D major, K. 285. We end with two arias from Mozart’s opera The Marriage of Figaro, namely, Voi che sapate and Non so piu. These arias were transcribed by Paula Robison and Nicholas Kitchen. The interesting life story of Paula Robison is found in this Wikipedia article.
