Throughout July, the Borromeo String Quartet, one of the most important string quartets of our time, will make its return to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for a 25^th Anniversary Event, the first of a three-part concert series in the Museum’s popular Sunday Concert Series.  

In Calderwood Hall, the quartet will perform three concerts: July 19 (Bartok, String Quartet No. 5 / Beethoven, String Quartet No. 15, Op. 132); July 26 (Bach, C-sharp Minor Fugue / Shostakovich, String Quartet No. 12 / Beethoven, String Quartet No. 14, Op. 131), and Aug. 2 (Schubert, String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor “Death and the Maiden” / Beethoven, String Quartet No. 13, Op. 130 with Grosse Fuge.)

On Saturday, July 18 at 1:30 p.m., the quartet will hold a special discussion and presentation with the audience to discuss how the members use technology to delve deeper into manuscripts and composers’ intentions.

Often a sell-out event, the Sunday Concert Series takes place on Sunday, July 19, 26, and Aug. 2 at 1:30 p.m. in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s Calderwood Hall, located at 25 Evans Way, Boston, Mass. Tickets are required, which may be purchased in advance or at the door, and include Museum admission. Admission is $27 for adults; $24 for seniors, $17 for students with valid IDs; and youth age 7 and under are not admitted.

The special Saturday, July 18 discussion at 1:30 p.m. also requires tickets and include Museum admission: $15 for adults, $12 for seniors; $5 for students; free for members and children, ages 7 to 17.
