Highlands United Church, 3255 Edgemont Blvd., North Van Programme: String Quartet Op. 20 No. 2 and No. 5 - Joseph Haydn
Haydn's Opus 20 set of quartets were among the works that earned Haydn the renowned nickname, "father of the string quartet." Musicologist Donald Tovey wrote, "there is perhaps no single sextuple opus in the history of instrumental music which has achieved so much."
