There is perhaps no better way to conclude the chamber music series for 2022 than a special concert dedicated to the great master Ludwig van Beethoven. Arguably one of the greatest exponents of the chamber music medium, the program opens with his electric and fiery C Major String Quintet, affectionately known as “The Storm.” It is followed by pianist Sebastian Knauer playing Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 21, No. 2, also known as “The Tempest.” To close, we hear a performance of his majestic “Archduke” Piano Trio, a timeless classic, brimming with the same original freshness as the day it was first heard.
