The Cypress String Quartet
Known for its elegant performances, the Cypress String Quartet(Cecily Ward, violin; Tom Stone, violin; Ethan Filner, viola; and Jennifer Kloetzel, cello) has been praised by Gramophone for its “artistry of uncommon insight and cohesion,” and its sound has been called “beautifully proportioned and powerful” by The Washington Post.
The Many Faces of Beethoven
Dramatic. Heroic. Willful. Capricious. Tender. Tragic. Beethoven’s music, and in particular his string quartets, capture the depth and breadth of the human experience in a way that reaches into the listener’s heart and soul. After nearly twenty years studying, rehearsing and performing these pieces, the Cypress has come to regard Beethoven as a dear friend. In this concert the audience will journey with the Cypress to meet Beethoven in all of his guises, from the dramatic unpredictable genius of legend, to the unbelievably tender philosopher, and even the irrepressible joker.
