October’s concert will be a Musical Homage consisting of Beethoven’s String Quartet, op 18 no. 1 in F Major. Beginning one of the greatest cycles of music in the entire Western Classical canon, Beethoven’s sixteen quartets span his entire creative life.
These op. 18 quartets pay tribute to pieces by Mozart and Haydn which Beethoven adored and studied, using his own relentless, innovative expressivity. The second half of the concert will feature Dvorak’s masterful Piano Quintet in A Major, one of the greatest works of chamber music ever written. The muscular drama freely mixes with various sections of euphoric beauty with a magical, dance-like quality abounding with spontaneity and vitality.The award-winning Aeolus Quartet will return to Stowe for this special performance, joined by the internationally acclaimed pianist Peter Dugan who is also the host/pianist of NPR’s ‘From The Top’.
