Tune in for three iconic string quartet performances by the Quatuor Ébène. First you'll hear Mozart's String Quartet, the first of six he dedicated to Haydn, followed by Shostakovich's most famous quartet, which is dedicated to the victims of fascism and war. Schumann's String Quartet in F Major closes the program.

Hosted by John Schaefer and Jeff Spurgeon.
