Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime

Haydn: Quartet No. 3 in D major, Op. 1/3

Tina Tallon – selective defrosting (2012)

Ruth Crawford Seeger: Quartet 1931

Haydn: Quartet No. 11 in D minor, Op. 9/4

The 2018 season opens with an exploration of Haydn’s beginnings in the string quartet genre, featuring one of his opus 1 quartets along with an example of his more mature opus 9 works, written five years later. Ruth Crawford Seeger’s Quartet 1931 is an American modernist masterpiece that put the young composer on the map, and Tina Tallon’s selective defrosting from 2012 is an evocative, exciting work from an up-and-coming composer with San Diego roots.
