The Toledo Symphony Orchestra will begin 2016 with a Beethoven classic. Often referred to as Serioso, the classic composer’s String Quartet No. 11 was inspired by anger stemming from Napoleon’s attack on Vienna in 1810. Since Beethoven never intended for this composition to be performed in public, he wrote it for a small group of string artists in a tight circle, the audience will experience a compact group of musicians with distinct elements creating a rich harmony.
