The ECSQ Plays Beach, Roumain & Beethoven (Saint John)

The ECSQ opens their first concert of the new year with a wonderfully varied program. The show opens with String Quartet in One Movement by Amy Beach, the first American female composer to experience popular and critical acclaim in classical music. String Quartet No. 5 by Daniel Bernard Roumain is dedicated to U.S. civil rights leader Rosa Parks, and the piece traces Parks’ journey of struggle, survival, and lasting legacy. The program concludes with Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 13, a sprawling six-movement masterwork whose finale is the very last piece he ever wrote.
