The adventurous Beo String Quartet, noted for its sterling sound and experimental as well as classical performances, will travel to Tabernash, Colorado, where the Grand Concert series will present the ensemble in their 20th anniversary season. Presenting a program showcasing works by both classical and contemporary composers, the ensemble will perform works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Mellits.
Reviewing the Beo performing Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 at New York City's Morgan Library and Museum, George Grella of the New York Classical Review wrote:
"This was an ideal pairing of playing and compositional styles—the quartet's sheer expressive force added tremendous weight to Shostakovich’s theme, even as the delivery was slightly understated. The group had a supple way with the music's changing timbres, and the range of their playing, with mutes and at extremes of speed and dynamics in the Allegro molto, was thrilling."

About Beo String Quartet
The eclectic and highly polished Beo String Quartet has created a niche for itself as a daring, genre-defying ensemble. Rigorously trained in the classical tradition, violinists Jason Neukom and Andrew Giordano, violist Sean Neukom, and cellist Ryan Ash also know their way around contemporary expression, including the use of electronics, live sound processing, and spatial audio manipulation. Their performances of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, or Shostakovich have been compared to those of the best among 21st-century international string quartets.
