HAYDN: String Quartet Op. 76 no. 4 “Sunrise”
JANÁČEK: String Quartet No. 1 “The Kreutzer Sonata”
BEETHOVEN: String Quartet Op. 130

In a powerful celebration of the string quartet as a genre, we welcome the Jerusalem String Quartet in their own jubilee — 30 years together and praised for their “passion, precision, warmth… a gold blend.” The program opens with Haydn’s radiant “Sunrise” Quartet, a beacon of Classical elegance and invention. Janáček’s Kreutzer Sonata follows — a fiercely emotional, modern psychological portrait inspired by Tolstoy. The evening concludes with Beethoven’s towering Op. 130, performed with its original finale: the uncompromising Große Fuge — raw, monumental, and astonishingly ahead of its time.
