Grammy-nominated combo The Danish String Quartet stops in at the La Jolla Music Society’s Baker Baum Concert Hall for a series of five concerts, dubbed Prism IV, Nov. 16-23. The event’s title refers to a beam of music being split through Beethoven’s prism, with the shows celebrating the 250th anniversary of the famed composer’s birth.

Music will include selections from Bach and Beethoven as well as music inspired by them, including works by Shostakovich, Schnittke, Bartók, Mendelssohn, and Webern. It’s rare for a performer to play two nights at a venue, let alone a full work week, but since its 2002 founding, the DSQ has been special, helping expand classical music’s reach into the 21st century.

Danish String Quartet: Nov. 16-23 at the The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, 7600 Fay Ave. ljms.org.
