NCH Chamber Music Series - Ficino Quartet

Ficino Quartet: Elaine Clark, violin; Lynda O'Connor, violin; Nathan Sherman, viola; Ailbhe McDonagh, cello.

The Ficino Quartet presents a revival of its memorable contribution to the National String Quartet Foundation's 2020 Beethoven Reflected project, marking the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. The Foundation commissioned Amanda Feery, Garrett Sholdice, Cora Venus Lunny and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly to write short works inspired by and reflecting Beethoven’s breathtaking masterpiece, his A minor quartet Op.132. The four pieces are performed as introductions to each of the quartet’s movements, creating a seamless whole with a multiplicity of new resonances and connections. 

Presented by NCH in association with the National String Quartet Foundation.
