Ludwig van Beethoven – String Quartet No. 1 in F major Op. 18 No. 1
Johannes Brahms – String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 51, No. 2
Beginning on Saturday, May 22, 2021 the Telegraph Quartet (Eric Chin and Joseph Maile, violins; Pei-Ling Lin, viola; Jeremiah Shaw, cello) is presented in a virtual performance by Music in Corrales.
The quartet’s program includes Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 1 in F major, Op. 18, No. 1 and Brahms’ String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 51. Joseph Maile of the Telegraph Quartet says, “Both of these works represent each composer’s first public foray into the string quartet medium. Beethoven’s Op. 18 No. 1 is his ambitious, if slightly delayed, entry into the quartet medium as the vanguard of his set of six quartets. And Brahms’ wistful second string quartet is one of his two final products, of numerous discarded attempts – most likely with Beethoven metaphorically looking over his shoulder.”
The broadcast will become available at 7:30pm Mountain / 6:30pm Pacific. Video will remain online to watch through Sunday, May 30, 2021.
Tickets to access the performance are $15. Registrants will be sent a private YouTube link to watch the performance. There will be a separate 1-hour Q&A session via Zoom for ticket holders on Saturday, May 22 at 7:30pm Mountain / 6:30pm Pacific with members of the quartet.

About Telegraph Quartet
The Telegraph Quartet (Eric Chin and Joseph Maile, violins; Pei Ling Lin, viola; Jeremiah Shaw, cello) formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as “...an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept... with a combination of brilliance and subtlety,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.
The Quartet has collaborated with pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein; cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton; violinist Ian Swensen; composer vocalist Theo Bleckmann; and the Henschel Quartett. A fervent champion of 20th and 21st century repertoire, the Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by John Harbison, Robert Sirota, and Richard Festinger. In 2018 the Quartet released its debut album, Into the Light, featuring works by Anton Webern, Benjamin Britten, and Leon Kirchner on the Centaur label.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Quartet is currently on the chamber music faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as the Quartet-in-Residence and has given master classes internationally. In November 2020, Telegraph launched ChamberFEAST!, a chamber music workshop in Taiwan.
