Step inside our world-class museum for a vivid exploration of musical tradition across two centuries. This WCHOF Music Series concert invites guests to encounter a captivating dialogue between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s dramatic Piano Quartet in G minor and the sparkling Suite italienne by Igor Stravinsky. Joined by Chris Tantillo (viola) and Music Director Brian Woods (piano), the recital highlights the wit and expressive brilliance of the classical canon.
