The year 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of German composer Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth. To celebrate, Middlebury College hosts British chamber ensemble the Heath Quartet for a series of six concerts throughout the 2019-20 performing arts season. Over the course of the shows, the musicians, who served as the school’s first-ever quartet in residence in 2015, will perform Beethoven’s entire string quartet cycle. The first concert features Quartet No. 1 in F major, Quartet No. 11 in F minor (commonly known as the “Serioso” quartet) and Quartet No. 13 in B-flat major. Professor of music Larry Hamberlin prepares listeners with a preconcert lecture.
