Sarasa Ensemble Presents 'Patron Lobkowitz'
Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 7pm at Friends Meeting House, Cambridge
Sunday, January 11, 2026 at 3:30pm at Follen Community Church, Lexington
“This Prince was as kindhearted as a child and the most foolish music enthusiast. He played music from dusk to dawn and spent a fortune on musicians. Innumerable musicians gathered in his house, whom he treated regally.”
Lobkowitz’ patronage of “innumerable musicians” resulted in some stunning chamber works for strings. Sarasa will showcase three works that were directly commissioned by him: Haydn’s String Quartet in G major, Op. 77 No. 1 “Lobkowitz”, Beethoven’s String Quartet in F major, Op. 18 No. 1, and Emanuel Aloys Förster’s String Quintet in A minor, Op. 20.
With Jesse Irons, Julia Glenn, violins; Anna Griffis, Emily Dahl, violas; Timothy Merton, Jennifer Morsches, cellos
