In addition the Modigliani Quartet, scheduled to perform in Herbst Theatre on 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 18, has been rescheduled for one day earlier, Wednesday, March 17, also at 7:30 p.m. The members of this quartet, based in France, are violinists Amaury Coeytaux and Loic Rio, violist Laurent Marfaing, and cellist François Kieffer. The three string quartets they have prepared for their program are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s K. 160 in E-flat major, Béla Bartók’s fifth quartet, and Franz Schubert’s D. 810 (“Death and the Maiden”) quartet in D minor. In addition the cancellation of four evening programs has been announced as follows:
