Hailed for their talent and charm, the Formosa Quartet has sustained a career of innovation, storytelling, and advocacy since winning the 1st Prize and Amadeus Prize at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. This performance will include Beethoven: String Quartet in F major, Op. 18, No. 1, a Formosa Quartet Set, and Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810 "Death and the Maiden".

The Formosa Quartet Set is an assortment of shorts from the quartet’s collection of folk, pop, jazz, and poetry arrangements. Curated especially for each concert, the 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.
