Description:
The Colorado Quartet returns to Virginia Tech to continue their exploration of the complete string quartets of Ludwig von Beethoven. This ensemble is recognized for four continents as one of the finest string quartets on the international scene. There are justly noted for their musical integrity, impassioned playing, and lyrical finesse.

The Colorado Quartet has been a ground-breaking ensemble for nearly three decades. Catapulted onto the scene by back-to-back wins at the Banff International String Quartet and Naumburg competitions, it was the first all-women quartet to attain international stature. The first female quartet in history to perform the complete Beethoven Quartet cycle in Europe and North America, its recording of the cycle is available on the Parnassus label.

Of the Late quartets, Fanfare Magazine said: The Colorado Quartet tears into these works with a combined tension, cohesion, grace, and complete understanding of the music. . . if it's the music and what the music says that interests you, well, this is the only set of the late quartets you'll ever need. These four women bring Beethoven to intense, blazing life.
