Beethoven conjures up images of a unique genius who overcame debilitating deafness to write some of the greatest music ever. In this first of two different programs, the extraordinary violinist James Ehnes and his Quartet explore the Op. 59, “Razumovsky” masterwork string quartets, each inspired by Russian folk melodies. These two concerts of different repertoires (Beethoven à la russe on June 21 and L'alto de Beethoven on June 22) offer an extraordinary listener experience and musical journey as presented by some of the finest chamber music artists in the world today.
