Flinders Quartet – Beethoven and the Vignettes
November 14, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:10 pm
$29 – $40
Five emerging composers respond to Beethoven 200 years on
About the concert
The Flinders Quartet performance in Primrose Potter Salon sees the commissioning of five emerging composers to write vignettes in response to Beethoven’s Grosse Fugue, creating contemporary relevance for this seminal work and ensuring that generations to come have an awareness of Beethoven’s string quartet canon.
By pairing Beethoven’s Grosse Fugue with five, short works, Flinders Quartet present a new way of listening to the revolutionary composition with a renewed perspective.
Beethoven’s Opus 18 comprises his first works in the string quartet genre and his development of one small motif which was revolutionary in compositional terms. This same idea is connected to the task ascribed to the five emerging composers, 200 years on.
