Celebrating Mozart's Birthday weekend, Three Notch'd Road, the Virginia Baroque Ensemble, will feature one of his great masterpieces: the Clarinet Quintet, K.581 (1789). The program will also include other works of Viennese origin and a string quartet by Josef Haydn, played on Classical period instruments with gut strings and transitional bows of a design just prior to modern instruments. Violinist Aisslinn Nosky (reviewed by the San Diego Union-Tribune: "Nosky offered Haydn at his most virile, most persuasive, but also his most playful...") is featured along with historical clarinetist Dominic Giardino.
