Verona Quartet performs Scarlatti and Beethoven

Celebrated by the New York Times as an “outstanding ensemble… cohesive yet full of temperament,” the Verona Quartet has captivated audiences worldwide with their “sensational, powerhouse performance[s]” (Classical Voice America). Recipients of Chamber Music America’s esteemed Cleveland Quartet Award, the ensemble makes a much-anticipated Newport Classical debut with a program that traces a vivid stylistic arc. Beginning with Scarlatti’s graceful Baroque sonata and Augusta Read Thomas’s radiant Clara’s Ascent, the journey unfolds through Janáček’s searingly expressive Kreutzer Sonata before culminating in Beethoven’s noble Op. 127.
