Ehnes Quartet Plays Beethoven — Naples Philharmonic Sypert Salon Chamber Music

Event Ehnes Quartet Plays Beethoven Naples Philharmonic Sypert Salon Chamber Music Ehnes String Quartet Beethoven — String Quartet in F Major, Op. 59, No. 1 Beethoven — String Quartet in E Minor, Op. 59, No. 2 The Ehnes String Quartet performs a pair of middle-period Beethoven string quartets in this penultimate Sypert Salon program, highlighting the depth and cohesion of the ensemble led by Artis—Naples Artistic Partner James Ehnes. The performance opens with Beethoven's String Quartet in F Major, a revolutionary work celebrated for its thematic cohesion, tragic, operatic atmosphere and, ultimately, for transforming chamber music into high art. The program concludes with the String Quartet in E Minor, a more introspective and personal work that reveals the composer's growing interest in lyricism alongside the restless energy that defines his middle period. The Sypert Salon Series is generously sponsored by Drs. George Sypert and Joy Arpin.
