Join us this season for Discover: Beethoven String Quartets featuring cellist Gethyn Jones and the Ensemble of St Luke’s, made up of musicians from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Upon listening to a performance of this quartet, Schubert remarked, ‘After this, what is left for us to write?’ Schumann said that this quartet had a ‘... grandeur [...] which no words can express. They seem to me to stand...on the extreme boundary of all that has hitherto been attained by human art and imagination.’ Come and hear why it’s regarded as one of Western music’s finest achievements!
This event will feature a 45-minute lecture/demonstration followed by a performance of the string quartet, with a short break in between.
Other concerts in this series are:
Saturday 12 March 11am - Beethoven String Quartet, Op.18 No.1
Saturday 7 May 11am - Beethoven String Quartet Op.59, No.1
