Sarasa Ensemble Presents 'Patron Lobkowitz'
Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 7pm at Friends Meeting House, Cambridge
Sunday, January 11, 2026 at 3:30pm at Follen Community Church, Lexington
“This Prince was as kindhearted as a child and the most foolish music enthusiast. He played music from dusk to dawn and spent a fortune on musicians. Innumerable musicians gathered in his house, whom he treated regally.” Delightful hamber music by Beethoven, Haydn & Förster, patronized by Lobkowitz.
Lobkowitz’ patronage of “innumerable musicians” resulted in some stunning chamber works for strings. Sarasa will showcase three works that were directly commissioned by him: Haydn’s String Quartet in G major, Op. 77 No. 1 “Lobkowitz”, Beethoven’s String Quartet in F major, Op. 18 No. 1, and Emanuel Aloys Förster’s String Quintet in A minor, Op. 20.
With Jesse Irons, Julia Glenn, violins; Anna Griffis, Emily Dahl, violas; Timothy Merton, Jennifer Morsches, cellos
