About This Performance

PCMS welcomes back the Belcea Quartet—praised for their “superior artistry… full of style, feeling, and expressive depth” (New York Classical Review). The Belcea’s return to the Kimmel Center features a Philadelphia premiere by one of Europe’s most esteemed composers, Brett Dean; the last of the quintessential string quartets Mozart dedicated to Haydn (who, upon hearing it, immediately declared Mozart “the greatest composer I know, either personally or by reputation”); and the bittersweet potency of Beethoven’s final complete opus.

Mozart: Quartet in C Major, K. 465, Dissonance
Dean: Quartet No. 4, A Little Book of Prayers  Philadelphia Premiere
Beethoven: Quartet in F Major, Op. 135

Running time: 1 hour and  40 minutes (including intermission)
