Please note the different days of the week and starting times of these concerts compared to the rest of our season.
Our season ends with a “micro-festival” - beloved Scotia Festival artists Airi Yoshioka and John Novacek with the complete cycle of Beethoven sonatas. These works span a large part of Beethoven’s compositional life, from the early sonatas written under the influence of Haydn, to the stormy and virtuosic “Kreutzer” and the searching final sonata, Op. 96, which opens the door to the world of Beethoven’s late masterpieces for string quartet. A rare chance to witness a superb complete performance of this important body of work!
