NEPACMS Presents: “Answering”

NEPACMS Presents: Answering | St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Scranton Friday, January 8, 2027 | 7 PM Experience an evening of classical chamber music as the Northeastern Pennsylvania Chamber Music Society (NEPACMS) presents Answering on Friday, January 8, at 7 PM at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Scranton, PA. This intimate concert explores the musical connection between Ludwig van Beethoven and Felix Mendelssohn through two remarkable string quartets. Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 59, No. 3, “Razumovsky,” moves from an uncertain, mysterious introduction to an energetic finale. Mendelssohn’s String Quartet No. 2, Op. 13, draws inspiration from Beethoven’s late quartets and his own youthful romance. Built around the question “Ist es wahr?” (“Is it true?”), the composition explores themes of love, longing, and musical expression. Program: Felix Mendelssohn – String Quartet No. 2, Op. 13 Ludwig van Beethoven – String Quartet Op. 59, No. 3, “Razumovsky” Featured Musicians: John Vaida – Violin Arthur Moeller – Violin Amy Iwazumi – Viola Erin Ellis – Cello NEPACMS Presents: Answering in Scranton offers an evening of expressive chamber music celebrating two influential classical composers.
