PROGRAM
Franz Joseph Haydn, String Quartet No. 2 in D Major, Op. 71 (1793)
Giuseppe Verdi, String Quartet (1873)
Billy Childs, String Quartet No. 3, “Unrequited” (2015)
Caroline Shaw, Plan and Elevation (2015)
One of the finest young string quartets in the world returns to the Gardner with a program that includes a luminous quartet from Franz Joseph Haydn—the virtual inventor of the medium—as well as Verdi’s solitary and astonishing contribution to the form. These landmarks are joined by a recent work from Caroline Shaw, modeled on architectural drawings for Dumbarton Oaks, the historic estate in Georgetown with gardens designed by landscape architect Beatrix Jones Farrand.
