Tokyo String Quartet
- Public Event
| Presented By: | Coleman Chamber Music Association |
This will be the Tokyo String Quartet's 12th Coleman concert, including the Centennial concert in 2004, since winning the Vera Barstow Award at the 1970 Competition. In 1995 the ensemble began performing with the "Paganini Quartet," a group of renowned Stradivarius instruments named for legendary virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, who acquired and played them during the 19th century. The Toronto Star said of the Quartet's playing that "The musicians displayed such finesse, such careful shaping of each melodic line as it was passed from one instrument to the next, that it left one almost breathless." Their numerous television appearances include Sesame Street, PBS's Great Performances, and CNN This Morning.
The program for this concert will include:
| Haydn | Quartet in D Major, Op. 76, No. 5 |
| Janáček | Quartet No. 2 "Intimate Letters" |
| Brahms | Quartet No. 3 in B-flat Major, Op. 67 |
