About This Performance

The Roger and Margaret Berlin Emerging Instrumental Chamber Music Performance

From prayerful meditation and delicate lyricism to passionate outbursts and playful exuberance, Beethoven’s three consecutive masterpieces offer a rich and fascinating musical journey that captures a time of transition in Beethoven’s life. A beloved regular with PCMS, former Juilliard Quartet violinist Joseph Lin has created a brilliant program highlighting the end of Beethoven’s “middle style,” signifying a shift towards a more dramatic and personal compositional approach that coincided with the composer’s hearing loss.

Beethoven: String Quartet in F Minor, Op. 95, Serioso
Beethoven: Violin Sonata in G Major, Op. 96
Beethoven: Piano Trio in B-flat Major, Op. 97, Archduke

Running time: 1 hour and 45 minutes (including intermission)
