We cordially invite you to a special Schubertiade concert by the Viennese Minetti Quartett featuring violinists Maria Ehmer and Anna Knopp, violist Milan Milojicic and cellist Leonhard Roczek.

About the Concert

Salzburg born artist Ángela Troendle’s “New Gifts of the Night”, based on the poem “Moonlit Night” by Joseph von Eichendorff, which was dedicated to the Minetti Quartett in 2020, is embedded between the dramatic quartet movement in C minor and the famous “Rosamunde” quartet.
