On the heels of last season’s “Fabulous Fanny” program, our gut-string quartet returns for a dive into perhaps the most revered of the entire string quartet repertoire, the late Beethoven String Quartets.  While Beethoven’s late quartets are so progressive they are often programmed with cutting edge contemporary repertoire, we explore these masterpieces from our speciality of an earlier lens.
