Multimedia presentations explore the ups and downs of Beethoven’s life at the time, his first sketches for the quartet, his complete manuscript, and the finished score, culminating in a festival performance of the piece by the Miró Quartet. Whether or not you have any background in music, you will further your skills and learn secrets about one of music’s towering figures.
