SUMMARY:Ying Quartet: Beethoven Cycle Part II
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Chautauqua Institution and the Eastman School of Music\, the Festival is pleased to present Only Art Held Me\, the Ying Quartet’s online ten-concert series of the complete Beethoven String Quartet cycle.

We look forward to sharing this enduring and monumental musical journey with you over the coming months.” \nThe Ying Quartet chose the series title\, Only Art Held Me\, from Beethoven’s own words. In his heartbreaking letter to his brothers in 1802\, now known as the “Heiligenstadt Testimony\,” Beethoven describes at length the anguish and despair he felt in the face of great personal adversity. At his lowest point\, Beethoven cries that he would have taken his own life\, and “only the Art\,” i.e.\, his music\, “held me back.” Phillip Ying adds\, “There is no music that speaks more powerfully to our time of great adversity and challenge than his string quartets\, probing the human condition in honesty and intimacy\, and ultimately affirming the resilience and profound strength of the soul.” \nRead the full press release.
