Cypress String Quartet Plays Beethoven, Schulhoff and Dvorak

Beethoven and Dvorak -- Berkeley Chamber Performances Presents Cypress String Quartet

Writing for a string quartet is the true test of a composer's musical mettle. With just two violins, a viola and a cello, there is little room for filler and extraneous flourishes. It's a musical form that requires real art, and Beethoven, Schulhoff and Dvorak were all masters of that form. You'll hear just how when the Cypress String Quartet brings its elegant mastery of the strings to the Berkeley City Club for an evening with Beethoven's Op. 18, Schulhoff's Op. 14 and Dvorak's Op. 51.
