Bruch & Beethoven

The Sarasota Orchestra highlights the structural brilliance of nineteenth-century chamber music during this evening performance. Held at Holley Hall, the intimate, hour-long program centers on Max Bruch’s lush, deeply romantic Piano Quintet, composed for his close musical peers. The ensemble then tackles Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 16, a tender, rhythmically quirky composition that marks the final completed work in the master’s legendary catalog of string quartets.
