“PROPHETIC SOUL OF THE WIDE WORLD”

 

 

 

Decompression Chamber Music returns to One Longfellow Square on Monday, May 7, at 7:00 p.m. with Beethoven’s magnificent quartet, Opus 131. This varied and  beautifully integrated piece is the pinnacle of string quartet writing. Wagner, Schumann and Stravinsky praised it as the greatest work ever written. Schubert loved it so much that he asked to hear it right before he died.

 

Beethoven summoned all his skill, experience and passion in this powerful appeal to the prophetic soul in all of us.

 

You can find out what this is about by joining Decompression Chamber Music on May 7th to hear and experience this glorious masterpiece.

 

Tickets are $20 in advance and $23 at the door, and can are available at
