The Telegraph Quartet will be presented by Tertulia in San Francisco at Town Hall Restaurant. The evening’s concert program, performed between a cocktail hour, seated dinner, and dessert, will feature Grażyna Bacewicz’s String Quartet No. 4 and Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F major. Crafted as dinner-concerts, Tertulia unites the universal element of food and the inviting atmosphere of a shared meal with the complexity of classical music performed by various musicians in restaurants in the U.S. and around the world.
Grażyna Bacewicz’s String Quartet No. 4 was composed in 1951, several years after the end of World War II. During this time, Bacewicz lived through the Nazi occupation of Warsaw. The work opens with a kind of sorrow-tinged hope that builds to a joyous third movement. Ravel’s String Quartet was written just as he was finally finding his voice as a composer, having been swept up into the color world of Debussy’s Impressionism. It is a clear break from the excesses of German-Romanticism, while looking back farther to the Apollonian structure of classicism. Ravel uses the quartet medium to find a space and vibrancy, using clear, etched themes set against a backdrop of colorfully evocative environments.
