Full program notes

Beethoven String Quartet in Eb Major, Op. 127

Op 127 is the first quartet from Beethoven's "late" style period, (aka when things started to get a little crazy!). This work represents the birth of a new era of composing for Beethoven, and we think it's the perfect piece to play to celebrate his birthday (Dec 16th)! This piece is joyful, heroic, tender, mischievous...we can't wait to share it with you, and to raise a toast to Beethoven on his 253rd birthday :)
