Music so good it was sent into space

Join us at UHCL Clear Lake for a program featuring the magic of Beethoven. His works transcend time, borders, and language… reflecting a common humanity. Perhaps this is why the Cavatina, from his String Quartet No. 13, was selected to appear on the Voyager spacecraft’s Golden Record, sent deep into space as a representation of all humankind.

Now, you can hear this complete work like never before – reorchestrated to add the full richness of Mercury’s string section – a profoundly moving work that’s equal in emotional intensity to his Ninth Symphony.   This work is paired with Ravel’s beloved String Quartet – often considered his first masterpiece.

This performance is presented by the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Ticket information is available at UCHL Cultural Arts.
