Presented By: Coleman Chamber Music Association

How better could Coleman audiences and the Guarneri String Quartet say "farewell" than with a celebration of Beethoven's late quartets? This will be the Quartet's 18th and final appearance on the Series, the most of any artists but the Juilliard and London String Quartets, and Alice Coleman herself. Retiring after a 45-year run, the group began with the 1964 Marlboro Music Festival, when violinists Arnold Steinhart and John Dalley, violist Michael Tree, and cellist David Soyer joined forces fresh out of the Curtis Institute of Music (Soyer's protégé Peter Wiley replaced him in 2001). "Quite possibly the most distinguished string quartet in the solar system," (Salt Lake Tribune) the Quartet has now become an interstellar musical ambassador with a recording aboard NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft.

The program for this concert will include:

Beethoven   Quartet No. 12 in E-flat Major, Op. 127
Beethoven   Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132
