    Attacca Quartet

    Segerstrom Center for the Arts, 600 Town Center Dr, Costa Mesa · verified Sep 18
    See details

    Attacca Quartet launches the season with a program that places Beethoven in conversation with the composers he continues to inspire. Recognized for clarity, rhythmic drive, and adventurous choices, the ensemble pairs Beethoven’s Op. 131, a late quartet prized for its seamless arc and introspective depth, with music by Caroline Shaw, Paul Wiancko, and Radiohead. Heard side by side, these works highlight connections that bridge centuries of musical ideas. In this setting, Beethoven’s voice emerges as immediate and alive. As an opening statement for the season, the concert presents Beethoven as both a starting point and a continuing force.
