JERUSALEM STRING QUARTET

“Consummately brilliant playing throughout, combining amazing technical finesse with overwhelming musical insight….” — BBC Music Magazine

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Renowned for their “amazing technical finesse and overwhelming musical insight” (BBC Music Magazine), the Jerusalem String Quartet returns to Parlance Chamber Concerts for an expressively far-ranging program featuring works by Haydn, Beethoven, and Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Shulamit Ran. Celebrated for their warm, balanced sound and eloquent ensemble unity, the Quartet brings a rare blend of tradition, individuality, and emotional depth to both classical masterworks and contemporary voices.

​

Their program will culminate with Beethoven’s Quartet in B-flat, Op. 130, including the boundary-pushing Grosse Fuge. This great quartet —by turns rustic, playful, introspective, and adventurous —showcases the full range of Beethoven’s extraordinary late-life inventiveness and mastery.”
