The Lydian String Quartet presents Beethoven+

The Lydian String Quartet and the Goethe Institut present the complete quartets of Beethoven alongside contemporary works in 8 concerts, culminating in spring 2027 with the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's death.

Beethoven: String Quartet in F major, Op. 18, No. 1Iris ter Schiphorst: Und doch…Beethoven: String Quartet in F major, Op. 59, No. 1 This season launches with Beethoven’s first published string quartet - loaded with wit, charm, counterpoint. The opening of the Opus 18 set showcases all that Beethoven learned from his predecessors, and looks forward to the way he would change the genre forever.  German composer Iris ter Schiphorst began composing Und doch… with Op 18 No 1 as a point of reference, resulting in “an attempt to draw a very personal trace of memory with my possibilities and my language.”  The concert concludes with the first of Beethoven’s Razumovsky quartets, a revolutionary work that expanded the scope and possibilities of what a classical string quartet can be.
