PCMS welcomes back the Belcea Quartet—praised for their “superior artistry… full of style, feeling, and expressive depth” (New York Classical Review). The Belcea’s return to the Kimmel Center features a Philadelphia premiere by one of Europe’s most esteemed composers, Brett Dean; the last of the quintessential string quartets Mozart dedicated to Haydn (who, upon hearing it, immediately declared Mozart “the greatest composer I know, either personally or by reputation”); and the bittersweet potency of Beethoven’s final complete opus.
