Beethoven’s Next Quartet
New Parnassus
Four contemporary composers take inspiration from the sketches of Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 11, Op. 95, in F minor (1810) and compose one movement each, resulting in a completely new four-movement quartet. New Parnassus will perform the new work along with the original String Quartet No. 11, creating a musical dialogue between Beethoven and contemporary composers. Composers include Raven Chacon, Laura Kaminsky, Ben Kutner, and Shara Nova. The autograph manuscript of Beethoven’s sketches is in the Morgan’s music collection.
