Juillard Quartet presented by Philadelphia Chamber Music Society

The ProgramBeethoven: Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131Beethoven: Quartet in A Minor, Op. 132Pre-concert lecture with Suhnne Ahn at 6:45 pmThe ArtistsFounded in 1946 by Robert Mann, Robert Koff, Raphael Hillyer, and Arthur Winograd, the ever-evolving Juilliard Quartet has become a living American legend. Widely known as the "quintessential American string quartet,� from the beginning the Juilliard has been recognized for the boldness of its interpretation of the classics, with an equal and parallel tradition of championing the new — a vibrant combination of the familiar and the daring. The Quartet's sound is famously characterized by clarity of structure, compelling rhythmic drive and an extraordinary unanimity of purpose, no matter the work at hand. In its second season with first violinist Joseph Lin, the Juilliard continues its vibrant tradition of music-making and education with a pair of PCMS concerts in the 2012-13 season.
