Throughout history, the string quartet has offered composers a vehicle for their most compelling and deeply personal musical statements. The dynamic young Viano Quartet returns to Music@Menlo for a panorama of string quartet works including Anton Webern’s emotional Langsamer Satz, written at the twilight of the Romantic age, and Shostakovich’s electrifying ninth quartet.
