MCMO s artists are leading international musicians in demand around the globe. The Jasper Quartet, the most recent winner of the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award, will open our series. Collaborating with the Jasper Quartet is the American pianist Gilles Vonsattel. Returning are the two French quartets, the Modigliani and the Ébène, performing beautiful programs, each in their unique style. Closing the season is the Fauré Piano Quartett, a German quartet, who is making their debut appearance in Montgomery.
