All About Strings

Venue : Dom Pedro V Theatre

Programme:
Beethoven: String Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 18, No. 6
Mendelssohn: String Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20

Franz Joseph Haydn once said the string quartet as a conversation between four individuals. The four string instruments are like four people with different personalities: one of them speaks eloquently, another echoes the others’ words, the third holds the wisdom of the old, while the final one chatters persistently. The performance presents a classic quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven and a ‘double quartet’ – Felix Mendelssohn’s string octet. For sure they will have a great chat!

Duration: approximately 1 hour, no interval
