Chamber Music Seminar Recital: Celebrating Beethoven

The Beethoven Chamber Music Seminar is a one semester immersion into the chamber music of Ludwig van Beethoven. Emphasis is made on studying from Beethoven manuscripts where applicable. Groups are taught by all members of the NEC Quartet-in-Residence, Borromeo Quartet on a rotational basis. Of today's program, two groups worked together with the Borromeo Quartet in a hybrid program composed of in-person and online coaching sessions, another group was located abroad but able to meet in-person for rehearsals with coaching sessions online -- and one group was composed of members geographically separated and unable to meet in-person and recorded each part separately with the parts put together using editing software.
