FSQ at USU 2025-26 Series: The Crossing Point
Arts/Entertainment
The Long Arc
Program:
W.A. Mozart | StringQuartet in E-flat Major, K. 428
Leoš Janácek | String Quartet No. 1 “Kreutzer Sonata”
Ludwig van Beethoven | String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131
The final concert of the season reaches back—not as escape, but as remembrance.
These works span classical elegance, psychological rupture, and transcendent modernity. Mozart offers luminous clarity. Janácek brings stormy, uncontained passion. And Beethoven’s late quartet stands like a mountain at the edge of time—defiant, searching, and radiant with radical tenderness.
Together, this program honors the lineage of the string quartet as a space of intensity and transformation. These composers, in their own eras, were each asking: What is possible within four voices?
The Fry Street Quartet asks the same.
This concert roots the season in resonance, community, and the long arc of wisdom through sound.
