Beethoven String Quartets

Quartets from Beethoven's middle and late periods, separated by a short work by American composer Caroline Shaw.

“Simply beautiful. Beautifully simple…Op.135, my desert island Quartet.” John Suchet, Classic FM

This full-length afternoon concert features two great Beethoven string quartets, and between the two, a short work by the Pulitzer Prize-winning US composer Caroline Shaw.

This concert is dedicated to Martyn Annabel (1955-2021), who found joy in music throughout his life, and who supported Music in the Round for over 30 years.
