CHAMBER MUSIC SHORT CONCERT 21ST CENTURY **FREE ADMISSIONHIDDEN GEMS**

Founded in 2025 within the OPRL, the Andriesii Quartet opens the concert with Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 11, an intense and tormented work. Sketched in 1810, it was composed during a difficult period in the composer’s life, marked by romantic disappointments and deep inner turmoil. Beethoven himself described it as a Quartetto serioso, reflecting the raw emotion that runs through the piece. A shift in atmosphere follows with Debussy’s only String Quartet, composed in 1892. A work of full maturity, it reveals a rich sonic imagination, blending ancient and modern influences with exotic colors in a free and radiant style. Finally, in Warmth from Other Suns, Carlos Simon—composer-in-residence at the OPRL—depicts the mass exodus of African Americans fleeing the southern United States between 1916 and 1970.
