Belcea Quartet: Beethoven

The Belcea Quartet play Wigmore Hall on Friday 25 September 2026, inside their Beethoven cycle, pairing the first of the quartets with one of the last. The String Quartet No. 1 in F, Op. 18 No. 1, comes before the interval; after it, the String Quartet No. 13 in B flat, Op. 130, given with its original Grosse Fuge finale rather than the shorter ending that replaced it. Two hours with an interval, tickets from £18. Op. 130 reaches the 200th anniversary of its first performance in 2026, which is the year the Belcea have chosen to restore its original close.
