The underlying idea of performing string quartet literature in a larger ensemble without losing the intimate music-making of a string quartet also characterizes the program of this concert project. The Mozarteum University Chamber Orchestra interprets string quartet literature. The upcoming concert is conducted by Gregory Ahss, who holds the concertmaster position together with Giovanni Guzzo. The Chamber Orchestra of the Mozarteum University is composed of master and postgraduate students.
