With Chamber Music America, Kaatsbaan presents Ivalas Quartet and their program First Light, featuring works by Osvaldo Golijov, Eleanor Alberga, and Ludvig van Beethoven. First Light brings the listener on a journey through the cosmos with works by composers who muse on the origins of our universe and the experience of existing beyond our world. The program closes with Beethoven’s Opus 130, a piece deemed so timeless that a recording was included in the 1977 Voyager craft as a gift to any otherworldly beings it might encounter. First Light premiered at Carnegie Hall.

The program includes:
Osvaldo Golijov: Tenebrae
Eleanor Alberga: String Quartet No. 1
Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet No. 13 in B-flat major, Op. 130
