The Jasper String Quartet -- Caramoor's 2009/10 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence -- continues its residency with the following programs:

Saturday, March 20th, 2010 at 8pm, Rosen House Music Room

This is an enlightening program that juxtaposes early and late works of two of the most creative composers in the tradition. The Jaspers create a canvas evoking the evolution of musical thought from an early classical Beethoven masterpiece to a monumental late quartet and from a Romantic Webern to the condensed masterpiece of his mature innovations.

Beethoven - Quartet in F Major, Op.18 No.1
Webern - Langsamer Satz
Webern - 5 Movements for String Quartet, Op. 5
Beethoven - Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 127

Thursday, August 5th, 2010 at 7:30pm, Spanish Courtyard:

In addition to illuminating a late work by the father of the string quartet and Berg's monumental, yet cryptic, Lyric Suite, the Jaspers give the world premiere of maverick Annie Gosfield's latest quartet.

Haydn - String Quartet No. 60 in G major, Op. 76, No. 1, Hob.III:75
Gosfield - World premiere and Caramoor Commission for A String Quartet Library for the 21st Century; Vol XI
Berg - Lyric Suite
