Beethoven String Quartet Op.59, No.1

Please note that tickets for this concert are not currently on sale.Building 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.

Part of the Op. 59, ‘Razumovsky’ quartets, this work was composed during Beethoven’s middle period which was, like all of his life, a time of intense highs and lows. There was an especially striking contrast between his impressive professional success and his rapidly deteriorating health. He put all of his life experience into his work, successfully channelling his struggles and tribulations into his music.
