Towering Beethoven and lush French classics from young stars. It’s not quite April in Paris, but March at Dumbarton ushers in the Quatuor Van Kuijk with a musical fête. This quartet of young Frenchmen has already been lauded by the international press. Most recently, they were awarded one of the “Best Classical Music Tracks of 2022” by the New York Times for a recording “expressed with refreshing, sometimes revelatory, straightforwardness.” The young Frenchmen present Beethoven’s monumental Quartet No. 14 in the first half, followed by a delectable selection of mélodies from their home country. With such other venues on their schedule as Salzburg’s Mozarteum and Carnegie Hall, don’t miss these vibrant young stars on our very own stage.
