The Belcea Quartet was international from the get-go It was founded by Romanian violinist Corina Belcea in 1994 at London’s Royal College of Music, along with original member Polish violist Krzysztof Chorzelski and two British musicians. Since then, Korean second violinist Suyeon Kang and French cellist Antoine Lederlin have joined the ensemble. Together they perform classic works by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven as well as new works they’ve commissioned from living composers.
The group performed for the Cleveland Chamber Music Society during its 2023-24 season. They return this week to perform once again at the Cultural Arts Center at Disciples Church in Cleveland Heights. Their program will include Austrian composer Anton Webern’s 1909 Five Movements for String Quartet, Op. 5; Mozart’s 1785 String Quartet No. 19 in Major (“Dissonance”) K. 465; and Benjamin Britten’s 1945 String Quartet No. 2 in C major, Op. 36.
Emily Laurence will give a pre-concert lecture at 6:30pm.
