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.”
