The Juilliard Quartet was founded as primarily a new-music ensemble, but it quickly established a reputation for finesse in the Viennese classics. In this concert, the Juilliard drapes elegant exemplars by Beethoven and Haydn on either side of a new work written by St. Paul Chamber Orchestra composer in residence Lembit Beecher, whose music has been called “hauntingly lovely and deeply personal.”
