Last season the exuberant St. Lawrence String Quartet premiered a three-year Center for the Performing Arts program featuring all of Ludwig van Beethoven’s string quartets. The ensemble-in-residence at Stanford University returns to open the second season of Beethoven’s chamber masterworks. “These are fearless musicians,” writes a Washington Post critic, “whose spontaneity stretches past conventional interpretation and probes the music’s imaginative limits.” Violinist Geoff Nuttall and violist Lesley Robertson, founding members, are joined by cellist Christopher Costanza and violinist Scott St. John. The program includes the quartets in B-flat Major, Op. 18, No. 6; F Major, Op. 59, No. 1; and E-flat Major, Op. 127
