How, exactly, is Beethoven, the Bad Boy of Bonn, connected to the Bard of Avon?
Our exploration of the complete string quartets of Beethoven in celebration of the composer’s 250th birth anniversary starts with "Bor-Romeo: Beethoven & Shakespeare Beyond the Tomb." The series features gripping performances by the Borromeo Quartet, along with newly-produced recordings, discussions, and commentary led by Heifetz Institute Artistic Director Nicholas Kitchen.

Our first program revisits the kickoff of the series, captured in HD audio and video at the Blackfriars Playhouse from Feb. 24, 2020, and Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory in Boston on March 8, 2020.
