The unique timbre of the viola—rich, dark, and soulful—has made it the instrument of choice for composers seeking to add even more luscious beauty to chamber ensembles. Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center presents a one-of-a-kind program that includes a pair of violas in every work, from Vaughan Williams’ haunting Phantasy Quintet to violist-composer Brett Dean’s gripping lament, to Mozart’s joyful and uplifting C-major quintet, one of six composed that truly put the viola quintet on the chamber music map.
