Beethoven & Mendelssohn
6 April, 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 4:10 pm
Join the Cuthbert String Quartet for an afternoon of timeless beauty and expressive depth. This program brings together Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 18 No. 1 — a work full of grace, wit, and heartfelt lyricism, with a second movement said to be inspired by the tragic love and sorrow of Romeo and Juliet — and Mendelssohn’s passionate String Quartet op.13, inspired by his song “Ist es wahr?” (Is it true?). Through their searching questions and emotional intensity, these two masterpieces reflect a journey of longing, reflection, and discovery.
