The 2026–2027 Season Lineup

🎻 October 2, 2026: First and Final

Featuring works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Britten

A study in beginnings, endings, and the brilliance of youth.

Experience the full arc of musical evolution in one evening. We pair Beethoven’s “First” published quartet—a bold claim to the throne of Vienna—with Mendelssohn’s final, searing masterpiece in F Minor. Rounding out the program is Britten’s Quartetino, a sophisticated glimpse into the mind of a student genius before he became a titan of the 20th century.

• Beethoven: String Quartet Op. 18, No. 1
• Britten: Quartettino
• Mendelssohn: String Quartet in F Minor

🎼 February 6, 2027: Shostakovich Quartet No. 8

Featuring works by Shostakovich, Haydn, and Britten

What happens to art when the world order shifts?

Voices of Empires explores the music of three legendary composers living under the weight of imperial power. From Haydn’s majestic “Emperor” (composed for the Holy Roman Empire) to Shostakovich’s haunting, deeply personal String Quartet No. 8 (born of the Soviet era) and Britten’s wartime debut, this program captures the intense friction between creative genius and the state.

• Haydn: “Emperor” Quartet
• Britten: String Quartet No. 1
• Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8

🇫🇷 May 15, 2027: The Ravel Affair

Featuring works by Ravel, Dubois, and Fauré

A night of shimmering textures and historic rivalry.

In 1905, the “Affair” rocked the French musical establishment when the avant-garde Maurice Ravel was snubbed by the conservative elite. This program pits the rebel against the institution, featuring Ravel’s lush, shimmering masterpiece alongside the music of Théodore Dubois—the director forced to resign in the wake of the scandal.

• Fauré: Pavane
• Dubois: String Quartet
• Ravel: String Quartet in F Major
