Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime

Haydn: Quartet No. 16 in A Major, op. 9/6

Philip Glass: Quartet no. 2 “Company” (1983)

Marcos Balter: Chambers (2012)

Haydn: Quartet No. 29 in G Major, op. 33/5

A pair of Haydn Quartets frames two exquisitely crafted works from our modern era: Philip Glass’ Company (composed in 1983 for a dramatization of Samuel Beckett’s novella of the same name) and Marcos Balter’s Chambers from 2012, described by one critic as “a mesmerizing plunge into icy musical depths…This is a gorgeous piece, well worth hearing again.” The singular atmosphere of the Berkeley and San Diego harbor is sure to add to this exciting program.
