Renowned for their “amazing technical finesse and overwhelming musical insight” (BBC Music Magazine), the Jerusalem String Quartet returns to Parlance Chamber Concerts on Sunday, April 26 with an expressively wide-ranging program featuring works by Haydn, Beethoven, and Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Shulamit Ran, whose bewitching 2025 work Betwixt and Between was composed in honor of the Quartet’s 30th anniversary season.
The program will culminate in Beethoven’s Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 130, including the boundary-pushing Grosse Fuge. This monumental work—by turns rustic, playful, introspective, and adventurous—showcases the full range of Beethoven’s extraordinary late-life inventiveness and mastery.

Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in B-flat, Op. 76, No. 4 (“Sunrise”)	
Shulamit Ran: Betwixt and Between
Commissioned by and composed for the Jerusalem Quartet in 2025
