With unparalleled artistry and enduring vigor, the Juilliard String Quartet continues to inspire audiences around the world. Founded in 1946 and hailed by The Boston Globe as “the most important American quartet in history,” the ensemble draws on a deep and vital engagement to the classics, while embracing the mission of championing new works—a vibrant combination of the familiar and the daring.
The program includes the Beethoven Quartet, Opus 130 paired with new pieces by the celebrated German composer Jörg Widmann, which were designed to accompany Beethoven’s work. The Green Music Center is a proud co-commissioner of this project.
