Beethoven Reimagined

  • Lincoln Hall Room 75 1620 Southwest Park Avenue Portland, OR, 97201 United States (map)

Beethoven Reimagined features one of the most ambitious works ever conceived for the string quartet: Beethoven’s Op. 130. The heartbreaking Cavatina moved Beethoven to tears as he was composing it, and his original 15 minute Große Fuge finale was so challenging to audiences that he wrote an alternative finale for the quartet’s publication. The first half of this program features short new works inspired by Beethoven’s remarkable quartet, from a collaborative call-for-scores with Cascadia Composers.
