Praised by The Strad for possessing “maturity beyond its members’ years,” they were formed at the Juilliard School in 2003 and made their professional debut in 2007 as part of the Artists International Winners Series in Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. From 2011-2013 they served as the Juilliard Graduate Resident String Quartet, and for the 2014-2015 season they were selected as the Quartet in Residence by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This also has consequences for the listeners, who from concert to concert have to be prepared for all eventualities: “A work really develops only in a live performance,” the quartet says. “That is the 'real thing', because we ourselves never know what will happen. On the stage, all imitation disappears, and you automatically become honest with yourself. Then you can create a bond with the audience – communicate with it in music.” -Los Angeles Times Learn more _____________________________________________________ Wednesday • March 14, 2018, 7:30 PM Cuarteto Latinoamericano (Note: Program was changed on January 19 and corrected February 28 and again March 9) Heitor Villa-Lobos: String Quartet no. 6 Leo Brouwer: String Quartet no. 3 -- Intermission -- Francisco Mignone: Andante Cantabile Miguel del Aguila: Presto II Alejandro Cardona: Echü Carlos Gardel: Volver and Por una Cabeza Astor Piazzolla: Libertango Saúl Bitrán, violin 1 Arón Bitrán, violin 2 Javier Montiel, viola Alvaro Bitrán, cello "Matchless in tonal magnitude, tuneful fluency and concentrated teamwork" - Washington Post Cuarteto Latinoamericano is a world-renowned, multi-Latin Grammy winning string quartet from Latin America. They have toured extensively in Europe, the Americas, Israel, China, Japan and New Zealand. The recipient of a Mexican Music Critics Association award in 1983 and "most adventurous programming" awards from CMA/ASCAP in 1997, 1999 and 2000, the group has introduced more than a hundred works written for them and has participated in over a hundred world premieres. Formed in Mexico in 1981, Cuarteto Latinoamericano was, from 1987 until 2008, quartet-in-residence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. They have collaborated with many artists including cellists János Starker and Yehuda Hanani, pianists Santiago Rodriguez, Cyprien Katsaris, Itamar Golan and Rudolph Buchbinder, tenor Ramón Vargas, and guitarists Narciso Yepes, Sharon Isbin, David Tanenbaum and Manuel Barrueco. With Barrueco, they have played in some of the most important venues of the USA and Europe, have recorded two cds, and commissioned guitar quintets from American composers Michael Daugherty and Gabriela Lena Frank. The work by Frank, Inca Dances, won a Latin Grammy in 2009 for Best New Latin Composition. Under the auspices of the Sistema Nacional de Orquestas Juveniles of Venezuela, the Cuarteto has created the Latin American Academy for String Quartets, based in Caracas, which serves as a training ground for five select young string quartets from the Sistema. The Cuarteto visits the Academy four times a year. The Cuarteto Latinoamericano is represented by Sue Endrizzi Morris and Don Osborne, at California Artists Management.

  • Schumann Quartett Erik Schumann (Violin), Ken Schumann (Violin), Liisa Randalu (Viola), Mark Schumann (Cello)
    “Personal and profound” (BBC Music Magazine): “With no ifs or buts, the ‘Schumanns’ are among the best quartets in the world” (SZ) and certainly “one of the most exciting string quartets of the present day.” (Fono Forum) SCHUMANN QUARTETT ERIK SCHUMANN (VIOLIN), KEN SCHUMANN (VIOLIN), LIISA RANDALU (VIOLA), MARK SCHUMANN (CELLO) Biography The Schumann Quartet has reached a stage where anything is possible, because it has dispensed with certainties. This also has consequences for audiences, which from one concert to the next have to be prepared for all eventualities: “A work really develops only in a live performance,” the quartet says. “That is 'the real thing', because we ourselves never know what will happen. On the stage, all imitation disappears, and you automatically become honest with yourself. Then you can create a bond with the audience – communicate with it in music.” This live situation will gain an added energy in the near future: Sabine Meyer, Menahem Pressler, Andreas Ottensamer and Anna Lucia Richter are among the quartet's current partners. A highlight in the 18/19 season is its three-year residency at the Chamber Music Society of the Lincoln Center in New York City, which began back in December 2016. Furthermore, the quartet will go on tour in Israel and twice in the US, will give guest performances at festivals in Germany, Austria, France, the Netherlands and Bulgaria and will also perform concerts in the big musical metropolises of London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Hamburg and Berlin. In addition, the ensemble is “artiste étoile” at the “Oraniensteiner Konzerte” and is looking forward to their two annual concerts as part of its long-term residency at the “Robert-Schumann-Saal” in Düsseldorf.

Hindustani classical music is based entirely around melodic interaction with rhythm. Each raag provides a specific set of notes and rules for how they may be used. By following the given rules a performer, or in this case a composer, may create an original piece while still preserving the mood of the raag. Raag Jaunpuri conveys a contemplative mood, and is meant to be performed in the late morning hours.

  • September 2016 – July 2017
    SEPTEMBER 2016 –JULY 2017 Director’s Introduction Frances Marshall Photography One of Britain’s foremost singers, Sarah Connolly, opens the Hall’s new season with regular duo partner Malcolm Martineau, leading listeners through a programme rich in emotional contrasts, poetic reflections and glorious melodies. The recital includes Mahler’s sublime Rückert Lieder, the impassioned lyricism of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, the exotic subtle narrative impressions of Debussy’s three Chansons de Bilitis, and a selection of Schumann songs. Mark Padmore’s vocal artistry and ability to extract every drop of emotion from poetic texts have secured his place among today’s finest recitalists. Morgan Szymanski, described by Classical Guitar magazine as ‘a player destined for future glories’ joins him on 12 September. Critical acclaim for Angela Hewitt’s Bach interpretations bears witness to the pianist’s extraordinary ability to connect physically and emotionally as well as intellectually with the dance rhythms and expressive gestures of the composer’s keyboard works. The Bach Odyssey will highlight all of this over the next four years. Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan performs like a force of nature, captivating audiences with her artistry’s presence and expressive vitality. She joins the Calder Quartet, winner of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, for the world première of The sirens cycle by Peter Eötvös. Beethoven’s piano sonatas occupied forty years of his life. They offer insights into his development as artist and individual, and stand among the greatest of all his works. Igor Levit, now in his late 20s, drew critical superlatives to his debut recording of Beethoven’s late sonatas and has since established his reputation as a visionary interpreter of the composer’s music.

Everything succeeded as he asked, his wishes were always anticipated, and his desires always surpassed by the services of his new servant. Finally he thought of giving him his violin to see if he would play him beautiful music. But what was his astonishment when he heard a sonata so singular and so beautiful, performed with such superiority and intelligence, that he hadn't heard or even conceived of anything that might compare? He experienced such surprise, delight, pleasure, that he lost his breath.
