In 2009, the year of Mendelssohn, the five prominent musicians decided to form a string quintet at a concert. Since then, the Bartholdy Quintet has been delighting audiences with
Interpretations of the greatest homogeneity and virtuosity. On December 14, 1790, Mozart hosted a chamber music evening to bid farewell to Joseph Haydn, who was leaving for London the following day. The D major quintet that was played was to be a final adieu to his friend, as the two never saw each other again.
