Four programs present the essential Guarneri—Bartok, Debussy, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Schubert—and for its final New York appearance on May 16, the quartet, will perform a quintet joined by its original cellist, David Soyer.

Bartók—String Quartet No. 3
Mozart—String Quartet No. 22 in B flat Major, K. 589

The spring series of the Guarneri String Quartet is supported in part by the Grace Jarcho Ross and Daniel G. Ross Concert Fund.
