Up close. Unforgettable.

Ever wanted to eavesdrop on a truly great conversation? In this intimate performance, Camerata’s Quartet-in-Residence draw you into their sound world where centuries of musical storytelling come to life. Beginning with two luminous fantasias by Purcell, this program traces the evolution of the string quartet from its earliest roots to two of the repertoire’s most powerful masterpieces. Beethoven’s fiercely concentrated Serioso Quartet burns with restless energy, before Schubert’s iconic Death and the Maiden transports you from darkness and defiance to transcendence.
