Balourdet Quartet opens the season with a tour of Beethoven’s substantive string quartet landscape. Marked #3, the D major is widely considered his first quartet, a bright and gentle step into a realm he would redefine. Sourced from personal turmoil and his impending deafness, the darkness and lyricism of #11 share the stage in one of his most experimental compositions. The evening concludes with #16, the shortest of Beethoven’s late quartets and his last complete major work.
