The incomparable Brentano String Quartet joins Emerald City Music for the first time with a monumental program of Haydn’s Op. 33 Quartets in its entirety. Joseph Haydn, or "Papa Haydn," earned his nickname through his pioneering contributions to symphonies, string quartets, and piano trios. Throughout his life, he composed 104 symphonies and 68 string quartets, becoming a pivotal figure in classical music. In 1781, Haydn wrote his Opus 33 string quartets, which were dedicated to the Grand Duke of Russia. These “Russian” quartets are renowned for their wit and humor, including the "Joke" quartet being one of his most celebrated compositions. |
