Beethoven, String Quartet Op. 130 & Grosse Fuge

As part of their year-long residency at Caramoor, which also includes lending their time to classroom-based instruction, conversations, and concerts, the Aizuri Quartet performs a new work for Caramoor’s ongoing “A String Quartet Library for the 21st Century” commissioning project. Join the Aizuri as they take aim at a deeper echelon of human emotion in LIFT, a multiple-movement piece exploring the intricate rhythms of joy and sorrow, paired with Beethoven’s controversial String Quartet Op. 130 & Grosse Fuge
