The Tesla Quartet is known the world over for their “superb capacity to find the inner heart of everything they play, regardless of era, style, or technical demand” (The International Review of Music). From cutting-edge contemporary works to established masterpieces, the Tesla Quartet’s emotive and thoughtful interpretations capture the essence of music and leave their audiences moved and rejuvenated. This program, which the group calls Musica Universalis, explores music inspired by the grandeur and glory of outer space, with everything from Beethoven contemplating heavens to “Moonshot,” a new piece inspired by the Apollo 11 mission.
