Philharmonia Quartett Berlin

“Venerable Masters” accurately describes the program the Philharmonia Quartett Berlin will perform Friday night at White Recital Hall.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Bela Bartok and Johannes Brahms are the masters in question, and the members of the Philharmonia Quartett Berlin are masters in their own right. The quartet, founded by the principal concertmaster and section leaders of the Berlin Philharmonic in 1984, is one of the greatest in the world.

The concert is a presentation of Music Alliance, a collaboration between the Friends of Chamber Music and the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance.
