EROICA QUARTET

Beethoven: Quartet No.15 in A minor,
Op.132 (43')
Mendelssohn: Quartet in A minor,
Op.13 (30')

Mendelssohn's profound admiration of Beethoven's string quartets inspired him to create masterpieces of his own, each closely related to a specifi c work by Beethoven. Over the course of three concerts, the Eroica Quartet pair early, middle and late quartets
by both men. It is a feast of great works revealing hidden connections. This music lies at the heart of what the Eroica Quartet have made their name with. They have devoted years to deepening their understanding of performance in the age of Beethoven and Mendelssohn. They wear this knowledge lightly, as they turn their attention to the most important thing of all: the music itself.

Tickets: Zone 1 £15, Zone 2 (gallery) £12
Performance lasts approx. 100 mins including interval
