What to expect
The Vienna-based Javus Quartett plays an early and a late string quartet by Felix Mendelssohn, around a string quartet by his sister Fanny.

- Fanny composed more than 400 works
- Late quartet was a tribute to his sister
- He wrote it months before his own death
- Javus Quartett is ECHO Rising Star '26-'27
