    The Euclid Quartet continues its presentation of the complete Beethoven String Quartet cycle to celebrate their 10th anniversary. The ensemble will perform all 16 Beethoven String Quartets in 6 concerts in 2009; this concert is fourth in the series. This ambitious program was set to honor the Euclid Quartet’s 10th anniversary. To the Euclid Quartet, the string quartets of Beethoven are the most personal music of a man who without a doubt revolutionized his art. Collectively, the cycle encompasses the entire spectrum of human character and emotion; from despair, cartoon-like comedy, triumphant heroics, charm, daredevil speed, teasing, trickery, simple joy, hope, prayer and the pondering of ethereal mystery. The Euclid Quartet feels their own journey as a string quartet has been a rollercoaster ride through many of these characters and emotions. And so, to celebrate their ten-year anniversary, they embark on the voyage of performing all of Beethoven's quartets in one year over six concerts at IU South Bend. Ludwig van Beethoven wrote sixteen full quartets plus a single gigantic movement. These are generally split into three categories corresponding with the composer's different compositional periods. The Euclid Quartet has chosen to present the quartets in this way to allow the listener to experience Beethoven’s growth as a composer in a single concert.
