Program Notes

Meet the Artists

Three German composers make up this concert: one classic, one restless and romantic, the other modern and highly charged. After the high-voltage expression of Schumann and Rihm, Beethoven’s first mature quartet takes us to an expansive world that ranges from the eternal to the exuberant, but is still not quite predictable.
