Beethoven String Quartets

The string players from Ensemble 360 continue their cycle of Beethoven's string quartets.

A chance to hear quartets from Beethoven’s early and middle periods, both marked by wit and invention, formal control and deft construction. The monumental first ‘Rasumovsky’ quartet follows, an intense work that marked a sea-change in Beethoven’s writing and is passionate, defiant and deeply moving.
