Shanghai Quartet, Du Yun | Works by Beethoven, Ravel, and Du Yun

The New York Times called Shanghai Quartet’s performance of the Ravel String Quartet in F Major “passionate…driven, elegant and nuanced.” In this program, the Quartet pairs it with Beethoven’s String Quartet no. 12 in E-flat Major, op. 127, and the world premiere of a new work by acclaimed young composer Du Yun. Tentatively titled Tattooed in Snow, the new work is inspired by the temporary and fragile crystallization of art in nature and in space, as well as by chant and poetry.https://digitalcommons.montclair.edu/peak-performances-2014-2015/1009/thumbnail.jp
