About The Event
MUSIC
Bach's profound The Art of Fugue lends itself to string as well as keyboard renditions. • Haydn's Op.33 Quartets astonished Mozart. • Shostakovich dedicated his riveting, powerful Quartet #8 “in memory of the victims of fascism and war.” • Mexican Grammy-nominee Ortiz' Mictlán pulsingly portrays this underworld region of Aztec mythology. • Grammy-nominee Mazzoli's music conveys enthusiasm and joy. • Mexican-American Sean Neukom's El Balcón is the story of a childhood dream from the composer's mother in Mexico.
ARTISTS
Praised for their “supernatural one-ness of interpretive intent” (New York Concert Review), the Beo String Quartet is a daring, genre‑defying ensemble. They have 65 world premieres to their credit, and have performed 140 concert works throughout the United States, South America, and Europe. Beo will release their CD of Bach's The Art of Fugue in 2023.
