Leipzig String Quartet: Festival Vancouver

Saturday August 9/2008
8:00 pm
Chan Shun Concert Hall

Presented by Festival Vancouver

TD Canada Trust Main Stage Series


Ask any knowledgeable chamber music critic about the Leipzig String Quartet, and the superlatives start to flow.

 

“Superbly integrated" (Washington Post); "everything, but everything, was perfect" (Le Devoir, Montréal).

 

By any measure, this foursome is currently one of the world’s most accomplished string ensembles. Consider the almost 70 recordings, which span the works of Mozart to John Cage and have won many significant awards, and then add the hundreds of celebrated concert performances in major cities around the world.

 

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear this virtuoso string ensemble in concert.

Programme:


Beethoven - Quartet in C major, Op. 59 No. 3

Stravinsky - Three Pieces for String Quartet
Mendelssohn - String Quartet in A minor, Op. 13

 

Supported by Barbara and David Lowy

This performance is made possible with the support of the Chan Endowment Fund of the University of British Columbia.
