Beethoven with the Calidore Quartet
Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
Saturday • Oct 26, 2024 • 3:00pm
The Calidore String Quartet performs an all-Beethoven program featuring three of the composer’s legendary string quartets. The Calidore Quartet has been praised by the New York Times for its “deep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct.” The Los Angeles Times described the quartet as “astonishing,” their playing “shockingly deep,” approaching “the kind of sublimity other quartets spend a lifetime searching” and praised its balance of “intellect and expression.” Recipient of a 2018 Avery Fisher Career Grant and a 2017 Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award, the quartet first made international headlines as winner of the $100,000 Grand Prize of the 2016 M-Prize International Chamber Music Competition.
