The Memphis-based Cypress Ensemble, a group of close friends and dedicated musicians, invites audiences to a compelling evening of chamber music that bridges the familiar and the forgotten.
The program features one of Beethoven’s beloved Opus 18 string quartets—works that have become cornerstones of the chamber music repertoire. Known for their youthful energy, charm, and emotional depth, these quartets capture Beethoven at a moment of brilliant innovation. This particular quartet includes one of his most celebrated slow movements, offering a moment of sublime beauty within a piece full of joy and wit.
Paired with Beethoven’s classic is a true hidden gem: the Piano Quintet in A minor by Arthur Foote, a name largely unfamiliar to modern audiences despite his historic importance. Foote was the first successful American-trained composer, and in his time, this quintet was hailed by critics as “as good as anything coming out of Europe right now.” His music is marked by lyrical, easily followed melodies and a sense of adventurous exploration—hallmarks of early American classical expression.
This 70-minute concert offers a rare chance to hear Foote’s masterwork live, alongside a Beethoven quartet that continues to resonate across centuries. It’s an evening designed to inspire discovery and celebrate the richness of the chamber music tradition.
Don’t miss this unique musical experience with Cypress Ensemble.
