Programme
Overview
Explore the roots of the string quartet with the Chiaroscuro Quartet on period instruments. Delight in Haydn’s pioneering Op. 20 gems before ascending to the sublime depths of Beethoven’s Op. 132 and its Hymn of Thanksgiving.Step into an authentic chamber-music experience with the Chiaroscuro Quartet performing on period instruments. The first half showcases two of Haydn’s Op. 20 quartets - pioneering works brimming with inventive dialogue, graceful phrasing and the playful wit that defined the dawn of the string quartet. After the interval, the ensemble embarks on Beethoven’s profound Op. 132, culminating in the luminous Hymn of Thanksgiving to God for recovery from illness, a deeply spiritual testament to resilience. Gut strings, classical bows and the ensemble’s seamless interplay bring century-old textures vividly to life, guiding the audience from the quartet’s very inception to its most exalted summit.
