HAWTHORNE STRING QUARTET RONAN LEFKOWITZ and SI-JING HUANG, violins MARK LUDWIG, viola SATO KNUDSEN, cello MARTINU String Quartet No. 6 Allegro moderato Andante Allegro KRASA String Quartet, Opus 2 (1921) Moderato Prestissimo—Molto calmo—Volgare Molto lento e tranquillo Week 14 Notes on the Program Both of the composers on this program were Czech by birth, although Hans Krasa (1899-1944) was German-Jewish by heritage. Krasa remained primarily in his hometown of Prague, where he was very active in the artistic life of that city. He was deported to the Terezin concentration camp in 1942 and was killed in Auschwitz in October 1944. Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) moved from Policka, the small town of his birth, first to Prague for study and to perform in the Czech Philharmonic, then in 1923 to France. He would never return to live in his homeland. He left France for the United States to wait out the war, having been blacklisted by the Nazis for trying to help his Czech compatriots, and later moved between the United States and Europe, but was unwilling to return to Czechoslovakia because of the Soviet occupation. He lived his last years in Switzerland. Krasa conceived of a performance of his work to be "accompanied" by the real- time creation of a work of visual art.
