Mendelssohn Quintette Club

The Mendelssohn Quintette Club (1849–1895) based in Boston, Massachusetts, was one of "the most active and most widely known chamber ensemble[s] in America" in the latter half of the 19th century.

[6] Amongst the numerous 19th-century audience members appeared Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, who attended a concert in 1862 in Concord, Massachusetts, and mentioned it in her diary.

... Julian and I drove to Town Hall to hear the Quintette Club - Andante of fifth symphony of Beethoven.

"[7] On October 11, 1866, the Mendelssohn Quintette Club gave the world premiere performance of Johannes Brahms's String Sextet No.

In 1872 members of the Quintette established the "National College of Music," headquartered at Boston's Tremont Temple.
