Brentano String Quartet

The Brentano String Quartet - two women and two men dressed up, smiling and holding their string instruments - 2 violins, a cello and a viola.

The Brentano String Quartet

For over three decades, the Brentano Quartet has performed worldwide, earning acclaim for its probing interpretations and warm, lyrical sound. Their first visit to UGA in more than twenty years showcases the group’s immense talent across a program of works rooted in classical tragic drama and lamentation. The pieces include early Beethoven inspired by Romeo and Juliet’s tomb scene, a Mozart quartet likened to Dido’s aria of abandonment, and a middle-period Beethoven quartet whose slow movement evokes a mourning tree over his brother’s grave. Our first chamber music concert of the season is sure to be an afternoon of “wonderful, selfless music-making” (The Times of London)!

For tickets to the Brentano String Quartet playing Beethoven and Mozart at Ramsey Concert Hall September 27th, visit PAC.UGA.EDU, or call the box office at (706) 542-4400.
