7:30 PM : Well Met by Moonlight

Sumptuous string quartets from Haydn and Mendelssohn pair with Chloe Prendergast’s arrangements of selections from Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, recalling the historical tradition of repurposing any music to one’s liking for the instrumentation available. By moonlight’s haze, colorful characters come alive, mistaken identities abound and scampering fairy feet are encapsulated within this evocatively poignant collection of instrumental works. The Butter Quartet consists of four musicians brought together by their mutual love of vibrant historically-informed performance of string quartets. They first formed during their studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, but soon developed a passion and dynamic that extended beyond their conservatory years. They have been featured in festivals internationally, including the Utrecht Early Music Festival (2022), Mozartfest Würzburg (2021), and the Beethoven Academy at the National Forum for Music in Poland (2020). Their performances have been broadcast on national classical radio in the Netherlands (NPO4), the UK (BBC3), France (France Musique) and Slovenia (RTV Slovenija).
