Info:
For over 20 years, thousands of audience members from the Bay Area and beyond have savored Saturday-morning musical conversations, exploring composers and concepts with the Alexander String Quartet and San Francisco Performances Music Historian-in-Residence Robert Greenberg. The series combines complete performances of string quartets with Greenberg's witty and profound takes on these works, their creators and their place in history and the hearts of music lovers.
Bad hair, bad temper, and bad attitude: Beethoven, the bad boy from Bonn changed the very way we listen to, think and talk about music. Like him or not, every composer since Beethoven has had to deal, somehow, with his compositional and expressive innovations. This series features four works by Beethoven ("during") a string quartet that profoundly influenced Beethoven (Mozart's A Major, K. 464, "before") and three works powerfully influenced by Beethoven ("after"). Along the way the Alexander String Quartet will be joined by the legendary pianist Roger Woodward in a rare performance of Beethoven's Piano Quartet No. 3 in C Major and Robert Greenberg's quintet for piano and strings, Invasive Species.
