Parker Quartet Celebrates 20th Anniversary with The Beethoven Project: A Tribute to Beethoven's Legacy
The 2022-23 season marked the Parker Quartet’s 20th anniversary. To celebrate, the Parkers embarked on The Beethoven Project, a multifaceted project centering around performances of the complete Beethoven quartet cycle, and includes newly commissioned encores for each of the Beethoven cycle concerts. Bringing in fresh and diverse voices of today and continuing the lineage of creation that Beethoven himself was so much a part of.
New Commissions by:
At home in Boston, the Quartet continues to celebrate Beethoven’s music by presenting each quartet in venues beyond the concert hall throughout the city, aiming to reach audiences who may not usually have access to live chamber music. The project to date has included visiting homeless shelters, youth programs, hospitals, and libraries, and reaching people with hearing impairments, visual impairments, at-risk youth, formerly incarcerated people, and community members from a variety of backgrounds.
