Winter Harbor Music is pleased to welcome the Dirigo Quartet for a special evening of chamber music this Friday, June 5 featuring works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, and contemporary composer William Somes.

The program explores the string quartet tradition across centuries, beginning with Mozart’s Quartet in D minor, K. 421, one of the composer’s most dramatic and emotionally charged chamber works. The quartet will also present the premiere of Somes’s Quartet in D minor (“The Loon”), a contemporary work inspired by the natural landscapes and atmosphere of Maine. The concert concludes with Haydn’s Quartet in C Major, op. 33, no. 3 (“The Bird”), beloved for its wit, lyricism, and playful musical character.
