The second chamber performance by the DPO String Principals Quartet is all about the journey! Beethoven’s 12th String Quartet, initially met with poor reception, has since transformed into a beacon of his profound originality and introspection. This evolution is a fascinating journey in itself. And despite being stifled by WW2-era social norms and musical stereotypes, Germaine Tailleferre was always respected by her peers. Only recently has the world come to recognize her distinct musical voice. Finally, contemporary composer/vanguard Caroline Shaw, with her ‘Plan & Elevation,’ uses musical and architectural metaphors to illustrate how “the actual journey and results are quite different than the original plan.”

Chamber Music: Beethoven String Quartet

The Dayton Art Institute

The first Chamber concert of the season features two preeminent Scandinavian composers—Jean Sibelius and Edvard Grieg—and highlights their most influential works for quartet. Sibelius’s “Voces Intimae,” or “Intimate Voices,” is a characteristically lush, introspective and brooding conversation between the voices of the quartet. Grieg’s Quartet in G Minor is his only completed quartet in existence and is a dramatic and powerful work.
