Classical Music Playlist, April 20, 2023

The Miró Quartet
 

The Miró Quartet
Composers like Schubert, Schumann and Wagner, plus musicologists over the centuries, have used superlatives of all kinds to describe the String Quartet #14 by Beethoven. Revolutionary at the time for its many musical innovations, it was also the composer's own personal favorite string quartet. The String Quartet #14 by Beethoven is today's Midday Masterpiece.

The ensemble you’ll hear perform this work, the Miró Quartet, will also perform music of Mozart, Brahms and more TONIGHT at 7 at Sacramento State as part of the New Millennium Concert Series. Find information and tickets at CSUS.edu/music.
