Presto con brio \n  \n\n  \nAbout Brentano \nSince its inception in 1992\, the Brentano String Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. “Passionate\, uninhibited and spellbinding\,” raves the London Independent; the New York Times extols its “luxuriously warm sound [and] yearning lyricism”; the Philadelphia Inquirer praises its “seemingly infallible instincts for finding the center of gravity in every phrase and musical gesture”; and the Times (London) opines\, “the Brentanos are a magnificent string quartet…This was wonderful\, selfless music-making.” The Quartet has performed across five continents in the world’s most prestigious venues\, including Carnegie Hall in New York; the Library of Congress in Washington; the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam; the Konzerthaus in Vienna; Tokyo’s Suntory hall; and the Sydney Opera House. Festival appearances include Aspen\, the Ojai Music Festival\, the Edinburgh Festival\, the Kuhmo Festival in Finland\, and the Seoul Spring Festival of Chamber Music. \nThe Quartet has launched numerous projects that reimagine the standard concert program. In 2002\, they celebrated their tenth anniversary by commissioning ten composers to write companion pieces for selections from Bach’s Art of Fugue\, the result of which was an electrifying and wide-ranging single concert program. Fourteen years later\, they revisited Bach’s masterpiece\, performing the entire work in an ambitious multimedia project at the 92nd Street Y in New York with dancers\, narrated excerpts\, and an installation by artist Gabriel Calatrava. Recently\, the Quartet presented a second multimedia project at the Y\, which juxtaposed the poetry of Wallace Stevens with late Beethoven and music by composer Martin Bresnick. Other projects have included a three-program examination of Late Style\, presented at Carnegie Hall; a program surveying the music of lamentation over the last 300 years crowned by Bartók’s Second Quartet; and numerous adaptations of music from Renaissance and early Baroque\, including works by Josquin\, Gesualdo\, Purcell and Monteverdi. \nThe Quartet has been privileged to collaborate with such artists as soprano Jessye Norman\, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato\, as well as pianists Jonathan Biss\, Richard Goode and Mitsuko Uchida. The Quartet also maintains a strong commitment to new music\, and has expanded the quartet canon by commissioning works from some of the most important composers of our time\, among them Bruce Adolphe\, Matthew Aucoin\, Gabriela Frank\, Stephen Hartke\, Vijay Iyer\, Steven Mackey\, and Charles Wuorinen. Upcoming commissions and collaborations include a new quartet from Chinese composer Lei Liang; a viola quintet from James MacMillan; and a large-scale dramatic work\, “Dido Reimagined\,” based on the story of Dido and Aeneas\, from composer Melinda Wagner and librettist Stephanie Fleischmann\, to be performed with soprano Dawn Upshaw. \nDedicated and highly sought after as educators\, the Quartet are currently Artists-in-Residence at the Yale School of Music\, where they perform in concert each semester\, work closely with students in chamber music contexts\, and spearhead the instruction at the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival in the summers. The Quartet has given numerous master classes and workshops across the country\, and returns annually to the Taos School of Music as visiting faculty. In 2013 and 2017\, the Quartet assisted at the Cliburn International Piano Competition\, performing quintets with competitors in the final rounds. Before coming to Yale\, the Quartet served for fifteen years as Ensemble-in-Residence at Princeton University. \nThe Quartet has recorded extensively\, releasing discs of quartets by Haydn\, Mozart and Beethoven\, as well as a recording of the Schubert Cello Quintet with Michael Kannen. The Quartet has also recorded music by several contemporary composers\, among them Bruce Adolphe\, Chou Wen-chung\, Steven Mackey and Charles Wuorinen. The Quartet’s recording of Beethoven’s Quartet\, Op. 131 was featured in the film “A Late Quartet\,” starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken\, released in 2012. In 2017\, they recorded a live album with Joyce DiDonato\, “Into the Fire—Live from Wigmore Hall\,” which included works by Strauss\, Debussy\, Guillaume Lekeu and Jake Heggie for Warner Classics. Their most recent release features the K. 428 and K. 465 (“Dissonance”) Quartets of Mozart for the Azica label. \nAwards and honors include the first Cleveland Quartet Award (1995); the Naumburg Chamber Music Award (1995); inaugural members of Chamber Music Society Two at the CMS of Lincoln Center (1996); and the Royal Philharmonic Award for Most Outstanding Debut (at Wigmore Hall in 1997.) \nThe Quartet is named for Antonie Brentano\, whom many scholars consider to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved”\, the intended recipient of his famous love confession.
