About This Event
“Works by Beethoven” gathers chamber music by the composer who helped shift European concert life from courtly entertainment toward public, idea-driven art. In New York, his quartets, trios, and sonatas have long served as a baseline for how ensembles rehearse, listen, and argue in sound, from early Philharmonic-era programming to today’s small-hall series. This chamber appears at David Geffen Hall, Alice Tully Hall, and Groupmuse NYC, with performers including the New York Philharmonic, I-Jung Huang, Sheryl Staples, Yulia Ziskel, and Leah Ferguson. The writing’s pressure on form and timing still exposes an ensemble’s habits, for better or worse.
