To experience all of Beethoven’s sixteen quartets – collectively, surely, one of the peaks of human endeavour – is to take a wonderful opportunity both to enter into each of these extraordinarily individual universes, and also to hear them in the context of one another.
 
This enables us to appreciate the family resemblances between them, which make them all unmistakably ‘Beethoven’ – reflecting his profound humanity, integrity, moral seriousness, humour, light-heartedness, love, forcefulness, energy and self-belief. It also highlights the myriad differences of character, mood, style and sound-world which make one marvel at the sheer range, fertility and freshness of Beethoven’s imagination.
In arranging the programmes, our aim is to give each concert as much variety and balance as possible by choosing pieces of contrasting character, and from different periods.
