Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Montgomery, Widmann, and Tan Dun (Site)
Tuesday May 13, 2025, 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
As a tribute to Beethoven’s uncanny connection to the music of our time, we offer works of bracing individuality written by five living composers from around the globe. Indeed, Jörg Widmann’s Eighth Quartet, performed by the Juilliard String Quartet, has direct links to Beethoven’s quartet legacy.
