After a remarkable 44-year tenure, Spring 2025 will bring the retirement of the Alexander String Quartet, following a final, celebratory season.

Widely admired for its interpretations of Beethoven, Mozart and Shostakovich, the Alexander String Quartet’s recordings have won critical acclaim worldwide. Joined by lecturer Robert Greenberg, in-house music historian of SF Performances and noted pianist and composer, they’ll bring to life the nuances and history behind Beethoven’s “The Harp” and Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden,” considered one of the pillars of the chamber ensemble repertoire. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate this foundational piece of Mondavi Center history.
