Violinist

A beloved regular with PCMS, former Juilliard Quartet violinist Joseph Lin has created a brilliant program highlighting three remarkable chamber works that Ludwig van Beethoven produced in succession from 1810-12. These pieces mark the end of Beethoven’s “middle style,” signifying a shift towards a more dramatic and personal compositional approach that coincided with the composer’s hearing loss.
