About the Concert

Two centuries separate the two works in this program, yet they are surprisingly similar in their existential seriousness. James MacMillan wrote his First String Quartet, which made him instantly famous, in a struggle for faith, identity, and expression in the present. Beethoven's String Quartet was created during a deep health crisis. The slow movement is titled "Holy Song of Thanksgiving of a Convalescent to the Deity" and is an extremely personal, almost spiritual document. His contemporaries were puzzled. They found the work too long, too strange, and too difficult to understand. Today, however, it is considered one of the greatest chamber music works of all time.
