Fans of German chamber music will be in clover when the Hugo Wolf Quartett visits TCU this evening. (The name is not a misprint — that’s how the word “quartet” is spelled in German.) The Austrian ensemble will play music by Schubert and Schumann, but we’re keenest to hear them play the seldom-heard string quartet by Wolf himself, a 19th-century composer best known for his vocal music. The recital is at 7pm at Ed Landreth Auditorium, 2800 S University Dr, FW. Tickets are $5-10. Call 817-257-7602.
