The importance of patronage in music is illustrated by this programme. Mozart’s Quartet in B flat, K. 589, was written for King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia, an amateur cellist, while Shostakovich’s quartet is dedicated to Dmitry Tsyganov, the first violinist of the Beethoven Quartet, which premièred the work. Prince Lobkowitz, to whom Beethoven dedicated his first set of quartets, op. 18, was one of the composer’s early patrons. Barber Concert Hall Admission: £12, £9 concessions, £6 Friends, £3 students
