Orfeo String Quartet - Beethoven: Alpha & Omega

With op. 18 no. 1 and op. 135 sounds not only the beginning and the end of an exceptional quartet oeuvre, but also the artistic trajectory of a composer who changed the genre forever.

The combination of these two quartets creates an impressive tension arc, in which elegance, intensity, introspection and human expressiveness constantly alternate. With their tight interplay and great love for the chamber music repertoire, the Orfeo String Quartet brings this program to life in all its richness and nuance. Beethoven: Alpha & Omega is a concert for those who want to be captivated by the intimacy, the power and the timeless beauty of the string quartet.
