Beethoven: String Quartett in C Minor, Opus 131
A piece of music held in reverence and awe by fellow musicians, Beethoven's String Quartet in C# Minor Op 131 stands out among that composer's works as an astounding example of his creative genius. This is the music that Schubert wished would be the last thing he would hear in his life. Beethoven himself called it a new approach to composing, and it looked far enough into the future so that it remains a profoundly inspirational and novel work to this day.
Brian Lauritzen and the musicians will take you on a tour of the work before the complete performance.
