Overview

In the intimate setting of Epiphany Center for the Arts, the Guadagnini String Quartet contrasts two striking works of the repertoire. Cherubini’s rarely heard Quartet No. 1 opens the program — a work that defied the expectations of its era with bold rhythms and a distinctive voice — followed by Beethoven’s Quartet in C Minor, a taut and emotionally charged piece.

Tickets are free; reservations are required.
