Opus 76 Quartet with Paul Neubauer, viola

Presented by Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College at Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College

Mozart and Brahms | Sunday, May 5 at 2 p.m. | Polsky Theatre | The Midwest Trust Center’s artists-in-residence are joined by violist Paul Neubauer for Mozart’s C Major viola quintet & Brahms’ G Major Viola Quintet.

Hailed as “Kansas City’s Premier String Quartet” (KC Independent), the Opus 76 Quartet and violist Paul Neubauer, SPA Trio and faculty at The Juilliard School, unite to perform Mozart’s C Major viola quintet & Brahms’ G Major Viola Quintet.

The quartet’s residency, which began as digital artists-in-residence in 2021, saw the group embark on a number of critically acclaimed recording projects in partnership with MTC as part of its innovative digital concert series, “Eat, Drink & Play!”

Violist Paul Neubauer's exceptional musicality and effortless playing led the New York Times to call him “a master musician.” He recently made his Chicago Symphony subscription debut with conductor Riccardo Muti and his Mariinsky Orchestra debut with conductor Valery Gergiev. He also gave the U.S. premiere of the newly discovered “Impromptu” for viola and piano by Shostakovich with pianist Wu Han. In addition, his recording of the Aaron Kernis Viola Concerto with the Royal Northern Sinfonia was released on Signum Records, and his recording of the complete viola and piano music by Ernest Bloch with pianist Margo Garrett was released on Delos.
