Boccherini & Beethoven

The warm sonorities of lower strings take center stage in this program celebrating the expressive power of the cello and viola. Boccherini, a virtuoso cellist himself, weaves rich textures and dramatic intensity in his G minor quintet, a striking work featuring two cellos. Beethoven’s G major string trio, written at the height of his early period, showcases the composer’s boundless energy and lyrical elegance. The French Baroque master Jean-Baptiste Barrière brings a dazzling interplay of two cellos in his virtuosic Sonata in G major. The evening concludes with a lush and evocative rarity—Alfredo D’Ambrosio’s Suite for Strings, a work of exquisite charm and grandeur that highlights the full spectrum of string artistry.
