Saturday, November 7, 7:30pm
Program:
Webern String Quartet, Op. 28
Berg Lyric Suite
Beethoven String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132
“We are so fortunate to have the internationally acclaimed Webern Quartet. The Art and Med program at dnj Gallery recognizes the need for many types of healing. One of which is spiritual healing, which I believe this combination of art and music provides. Classical music helps calm the nervous system and encourages physical relaxation, perfect for patients and caregivers alike,” states Pamela Schoenberg, dnj Gallery owner/director
“The Webern Quartet brings an illuminating program of chamber masterpieces to dnj Gallery, pairing two pivotal works of the Second Viennese School—by Anton Webern and Alban Berg—with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Late String Quartet in A minor, Op. 132, widely regarded as one of the most sublime achievements in the string quartet literature. Known for their expressive depth, precision, and passion for bridging the classical lineage with 20th-century avant-garde traditions, the ensemble explores the direct line of artistic evolution running from Beethoven’s introspective late style to the emotional world of modern Vienna,” according to Alex Granger, of the Webern Quartet.
