Beethoven String Quartet Op.18, No.1

Please note this concert has been cancelled due to the coronavirusBuilding on the success of Discover the Classics, this season we’re delighted to present Discover: Beethoven String Quartets featuring cellist Gethyn Jones and the Ensemble of St Luke’s, made up of members of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

In celebration of Beethoven’s 250th year in 2020, the Ensemble of St Luke’s and Gethyn Jones survey three of Beethoven’s string quartets. Combining full performances of the Quartets with Jones’ affable, informed and often humorous lectures about Beethoven, his world, his life and his music, these Saturday concerts are a great way to get closer to the music and musicians who perform it.

This quartet, from Beethoven’s early period, represents Beethoven at a turning point. We hear Beethoven the student, absorbing and imitating Haydn’s wit and capacity for surprise; Beethoven the classicist, handling classical structures with elegance and showcasing his gift for melody; and Beethoven the self-determining artist, seeking to stamp his own voice ever more strongly on his compositions.
