The Miró Quartet

Fall Concert

The Miró Quartet

The Miró Quartet returns to Music@Menlo to perform Haydn’s String Quartet op. 77, no. 1. The work opens with all the wit and bravado typical of Haydn and evolves into a rhapsodic slow movement, exuberant scherzo, and joyously rustic finale. Then, written for the Miró Quartet (Daniel Ching, William Fedkenheuer, violins; John Largess, viola; Joshua Gindele, cello), a contemporary composition by Kevin Puts paints a poignant picture of the comfort, warmth, and challenges of the concept of “home.” The program concludes with Debussy’s bewitching String Quartet and its vibrant musical brushstrokes that defined French chamber music for generations after.
