Tickets required

Doric Quartet’s members use specially made original-style bows for a more refined performance of Classical repertoire such as Haydn’s Quartet #23  which opens the program with its dramatic pauses and clever transitions. The inclusion of Andrea Tarrodi’s Light Scattering underscores the ensemble’s commitment to new music as well. Lastly, Beethoven’s Quartet #10 mirrors the transitions of his life at the time: his Scherzo echoes the heroic power of his Fifth Symphony and “Emperor” Piano Concerto (written with Napoleon in mind), while his tender Adagio gives us a first taste of the transcendence yet to come in future slow movements of his later quartets.
