In this short, noontime concert Beo will make its San Francisco debut. Featured will be the music of two contemporary composers: Marc Mellits and Missy Mazzoli. Opening the program will be Enthusiasm Strategies, a work composed by Missy Mazzoli in 2019, which erupts in a flutter of harmonics that slowly evolves into a chorale at the end of the piece, which then ultimately dissipates into nothing. Mellits’ 5th string quartet, titled Waniyetu, is a collection of seven miniature movements that have to do with various characteristics of winter. Closing the program will be Beethoven’s incredible masterpiece, String Quartet No. 1 in F Major, op.18 No. 1.
