The String Quartet – Beethoven & Schubert (lecture)

In this final presentation of the Institute’s string quartet series, speaker and cellist Thomas Shoebotham and his friends and professional colleagues will present works from both the late quartets of Beethoven and the mature quartets of Schubert. In addition to hearing how Beethoven’s work influenced Schubert, we will also examine how Schubert’s mastery as a song composer spilled over into his quartets, infusing them with his own unique style of drama and poetry. This will be a night to remember!
