Happy Birthday Beethoven! To celebrate Beethoven's 250th year the Hudson Valley String Quartet will explore three eras of Beethoven's life through the lens of his string Quartets: The youthful "Gentleman's" Quartet, op 18, #3, The "Serioso" Quartet, op.95, the last of Beethoven's "middle" quartets and finally the ethereal, spiritual op. 127, the first of Beethoven's "late" quartets.
