We look forward to sharing our program titled Unexpected and Thrilling with music lovers in Ann Arbor, Michigan! The first half of the program features Mozart's "Dissonance" Quartet. Perhaps Mozart's most famous string quartet, the piece owes its nickname to the jarring and unexpected harmonies that introduce the first movement. The rest of the program is devoted to "A Formosa Quartet Set," an assortment of shorts from the FQ’s collection of folk, pop, jazz, and poetry arrangements. Curated especially for each concert, an FQ Set is like a flight of desserts after a main course, offering a chance for audiences to “let their hair down," tap their toes, and enjoy the string quartet medium in somewhat less-conventional contexts.
