Brentano String Quartet
Returning to Berkeley after a long absence, the distinguished Brentano String Quartet has been at the vanguard of American chamber music for more than 30 years, known for stunning rapport and a rich, full ensemble sound. The program includes Beethoven’s early Quartet in B-flat major, with its unforgettable fourth movement (La Malinconia), and Brahms’ lighthearted third quartet. The centerpiece is a new work by esteemed Chinese-born American composer (and UC San Diego professor) Lei Liang, whose music has been described as “hauntingly beautiful and sonically colorful” by the New York Times, and “brilliantly original and inarguably gorgeous” by the Washington Post.
| BEETHOVEN | String Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 18, No. 6 |
| LEI LIANG | New Work (Bay Area Premiere) |
| BRAHMS | String Quartet No. 3 in B-flat major, Op. 67 |
The Program Book will be available approximately one week before the performance.
