SUMMARY:The Pražák Quartet and The Zemlinsky Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Every musical configuration\, be it vocal or instrumental\, choral or symphonic\, chamber or solo\, is a distinctive window of the soul. The string octet is one of the more unusual windows\, and the Pražák and Zemlinsky Quartets are joining together to explore the view. Throughout Coleman’s years\, the Gade octet will be heard by our audiences for the first time\, and the Mendelssohn and Shostakovich octets each for just the third time. \nBoth Quartets are Czech\, and both won the Premier Grand Prix at the Bordeaux International String Competition: the Zemlinsky in 2010\, the Pražák in 1978 (at that time the Evian Competition). Each quartet was founded by students in Prague\, the Pražák in 1972 and the Zemlinsky in 1994. \nPROGRAM \nGade — String Octet in F Major\, Op. 17\nShostakovich — Two Pieces for String Octet\, Op. 11\nMendelssohn — String Octet in E-flat Major\, Op. 20 \nView or download the program notes \nSeason subscriptions and individual tickets are on sale now.

SUMMARY:REBEL
DESCRIPTION:Named after the innovative French Baroque composer Jean-Féry Rebel\, REBEL is pronounced like the verb\, not the noun…which makes sense\, considering how this award-winning ensemble opens wide a dazzlingly authentic ‘picture window’ to the baroque era… a window both musical and visual as for this performance REBEL will be joined by baroque dancers Paige Whitley-Bauguess and Thomas Baird. \n“The world of baroque music is a volatile\, action-packed place\,” writes The Washington Post. “One of the best groups is REBEL\, whose playing [is] fiery\, alive and beautifully controlled.” \nThe only period instrument ensemble awarded an artists’ residency at NPR\, REBEL has been featured on Performance Today\, Sunday Baroque\, and BBC’s Radio 3; and released more than 20 CDs worldwide. \nPROGRAM \nLully — Ouverture & Passacaille from Armide\nAnonymous — Sarabande\nCampra — Aimable Vainqueur\nHandel — Trio Sonata in G Major\, Op. 5\, No. 4\, HWV 399\nCorelli — Sonata in D minor\, Op. 4\, No. 8\nRebel — Les Caractères de la Danse (Fantaisie)\nLeclair — Ouverture in D Major\, Op. 13\, No. 2\nFux — Trio Sonata in G minor\, K 320\nVivaldi — Trio Sonata in D minor\, Op. 1\, No. 12\, ‘La Follia’ RV 63 \nView or download the program notes \nSeason subscriptions and individual tickets are on sale now. \n \nPhoto credit: Howard Goodman (top photo)

SUMMARY:David Finckel & Wu Han
DESCRIPTION:David Finckel and Wu Han “explode on the stage\, exuding not only glamour and theatrical flair but also superb musical insight. The audience’s thrill is twofold” (The Washington Post). \nThe artists present a program they have selected to illuminate the theme of German Mastery. From Beethoven’s incredibly lyrical Opus 69\, composed at the height of the Classical period\, to Brahms’s soulful second sonata\, whose beloved fugue pays homage to Bach\, the master of counterpoint\, the program traverses the German tradition of consummate craftsmanship in artistry. Concluding with Mendelssohn’s exhilarating Opus 58\, which epitomizes the era of German Romanticism\, this thrilling program is a tour de force through some of the most revered treasures of the cello-piano duo literature. \nPROGRAM \nBeethoven — Sonata in A Major for Cello and Piano\, Op. 69\nBrahms — Sonata No. 1 in E minor for Cello and Piano\, Op. 38\nMendelssohn — Sonata No. 2 in D Major for Cello and Piano\, Op. 58 \nView or download the program notes \nSeason subscriptions and individual tickets are on sale now.

SUMMARY:Brentano Quartet with Dawn Upshaw\, soprano
DESCRIPTION:Some musical stories have texts\, and soprano Dawn Upshaw joins the Brentano Quartet to sing them. “You couldn’t tear your eyes away from Upshaw’s presentation as she inhabited the moods and characters of these poetic texts\,” wrote the Cincinnati Enquirer\, “She was an involved storyteller\, bringing meaning to each word of text.” \nThe Brentano Quartet sings with strings\, and is named for Antonie Brentano\, whom many scholars consider to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved.” “These players could well be the best of the latest generation\,” the Philadelphia Inquirer enthused; “Their level of individual technique was superb\, while [the] musical dialog necessary for rich chamber music was evident from first to last.” \nProgram\nMozart — Quartet in C Major\, K. 465\, “Dissonant”\nSchoenberg — Quartet No. 2 in F-sharp minor\, with Soprano\, Op. 10\nBrahms — Quartet No. 1 in C minor\, Op. 51\, No. 1\nRespighi — Il tramonto for Mezzo-soprano and Strings \n \n \nPhoto credits: Juergen Frank (Brentano Quartet); Brooke Irish (Dawn Upshaw)

SUMMARY:Jerusalem Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Storytellers make words speak. They also know that beyond the words they speak\, their delivery is crucial. The Jerusalem Quartet has certainly mastered its delivery. Since 1996\, this Israeli ensemble has been ‘making strings speak’ on prominent concert stages throughout the US and Europe. Its goal\, however\, extends far beyond this: to achieve\, it says\, “perfection of sound.” \nThe Quartet may never achieve this goal\, but it’s certainly getting close. “An absolute triumph\,” says BBC Music Magazine. “Their playing has everything you could possibly wish for.” Perhaps\, though\, the Strad Magazine has expressed it best: “The result is by far the most intrinsically beautiful performance… that I have ever encountered.” \nProgram\nMozart — Quartet in B-flat Major\, K. 458\, “Hunt”\nJanáček — Quartet No. 1\, “Kreutzer Sonata”\nBeethoven — Quartet in F Major\, Op. 135 \n \n \nPhoto credit: Felix Broede

SUMMARY:Schubert Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:In its 34 years\, the Schubert Ensemble has become renowned as a proponent of music for piano and strings. Yes\, the Ensemble’s repertoire includes Schubert\, but it also includes virtually every major work for piano quartet. Among its more than 30 acclaimed CDs the Dvořák disc and the more recent of two Ensecu discs for Chandos were selected as Recording of the Month by BBC Music Magazine. \nGood storytellers seek new tales to expand their repertoire; the Schubert Ensemble has expanded its repertoire by commissioning more than 80 new works. And as Fanfare USA said\, “…The performances by the Schubert Ensemble are exactly what the music requires—they fizzle with energy and pep.” \nProgram\nHummel — Piano Quintet in E-flat Major\, Op. 87\nFauré — Piano Quartet No. 1 in C minor\, Op. 15\nSchubert — Piano Quintet in A Major\, Op. 114\, “The Trout”

SUMMARY:St. Lawrence String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Master storytellers are open and authentic. We\, in turn\, open to them; we connect. The St. Lawrence String Quartet is a master\, as noted by Alex Ross of The New Yorker: “The St. Lawrence are remarkable not simply for the quality of their music making\, exalted as it is\, but for the joy they take in the act of connection.” \nEstablished in Toronto in 1989\, the SLSQ has won numerous awards at international competitions\, and earned Grammy nominations and Juno Awards. The Quartet is also known for its ‘partnership’ with Haydn. Again\, The New Yorker: “No other North American quartet plays the music of Haydn with more intelligence\, expressivity and force…” \nProgram\nHaydn — Quartet in D Major\, Op. 20\, No. 4\nJanáček — Quartet No. 2\, “Intimate Letters”\nTchaikovsky — Quartet No. 3 in E-flat minor\, Op. 30

SUMMARY:Juilliard String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The history of the Juilliard String Quartet with Coleman is a story in itself. This will be the Quartet’s 21st appearance\, the first of which took place at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1951. Founded in 1946\, the Quartet recently celebrated its 70th anniversary\, and also welcomed its newest member\, cellist Astrid Schween. In 2011\, the Quartet became the first classical music ensemble to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. \nThe Boston Globe said it best: “The Juilliard String Quartet can plausibly be called the most important American quartet in history…. Some groups seem to wrestle with their past and legacy; the Juilliard seems completely revitalized.” \nProgram\nHaydn — Quartet in D Major\, Op. 76\, No. 5\, “Largo”\nBartók — Quartet No. 5 in B-flat Major\nDvořák — Quartet No. 11 in C Major\, Op. 61

SUMMARY:Heath Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The best storytellers display an infectious passion. And the Heath Quartet—which in 2013 became the first ensemble in 15 years to win the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Young Artists Award— exemplifies this. The ensemble performs\, says The Telegraph\, “with fierce intelligence and feeling\, passion and virtuosity.” \nThe members’ commitment to chamber music has led them far beyond London\, where they are professors of Chamber Music at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Past tours have included Carnegie Hall\, the Kilkenny Arts Festival\, the BBC Proms\, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam\, Queen’s Hall Edinburgh\, and Lincoln Center. Their 2016 recording of the Tippett quartets on Harmonia Mundi were praised by Gramophone as “A tremendous achievement.” \nProgram\nHaydn — Quartet in D minor\, Op. 76\, No. 2\, “Quinten”\nTippett — Quartet No. 2 in F-sharp Major\nBach — Three Chorale Preludes\nMendelssohn — Quartet No. 6 in F minor\, Op. 80

SUMMARY:Dover Quartet
DESCRIPTION:• DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM FOR THIS CONCERT \nOur musical tour concludes with a visit to Shostakovich’s Russia and a return to Beethoven’s incomparable late quartets—three of which\, including Op. 132\, were commissioned by Prince Nikolai Galitzin in St. Petersburg. He agreed to Beethoven’s requested fee of 50 ducats each… the last two finally paid to Beethoven’s heirs in 1852. \nThe Dover Quartet won not only the Grand Prize but all three Special Prizes at the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition. The Quartet also won top prizes at the Fischoff Competition and the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition\, and in 2013 became the Curtis Institute of Music’s inaugural quartet-in-residence. The Chicago Tribune wrote that “the Dover Quartet players have it in them to become the next Guarneri String Quartet—they’re that good.” \nProgram\nShostakovich — Quartet No. 2 in A Major\, Op. 68\nBeethoven — Quartet in A minor\, Op. 132

SUMMARY:Pavel Haas Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Named for the Czech composer\, the Pavel Haas Quartet returns to Coleman to take us to Prague\, where in 1878 Smetana’s Quartet No. 1 was given a private premiere with Antonin Dvoˇrák as violist. The Quartet’s recent recording of this work is one of three nominated in the chamber category for the 2016 BBC Music Magazine Awards. \nThe Quartet’s previous recording (Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” and the String Quintet)\, was named Best Chamber Music Record at the 2014 Gramophone Awards. Gramophone commented: “They represent the best qualities of the Czech tradition—warmth\, sonorousness\, individuality\, intensity; but what’s striking here is their fearless risk-taking\, their fervency and the absolute confidence with which they propel you through these two masterpieces.” \n\nProgram\nMartinů — Quartet No. 3\, H. 183\nSmetana — Quartet No. 1 in E minor\, Op. 116\, “From My Life”

SUMMARY:Pacifica Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Members of the Pacifica Quartet may live in Indiana—where they serve as quartet-in-residence at the Jacobs School of Music and as resident performing artists at the nearby University of Chicago—but their accomplishments range far beyond these state’s borders\, including our own Coleman Competition: the Russell Award in 1995 and the 50th Anniversary Prize in 1996. London’s Guardian called them “outstanding;” The New York Times described their playing as “alluring…breathtaking…unfolding with spine-tingling intensity.” \nOur musical journey with the Quartet will include works by Mozart and Beethoven\, and also a quartet by Israeli-American composer Shulamit Ran. Inspired by the paintings of Felix Nussbaum\, who died during the Holocaust\, the work\, Ran explains\, is her way of saying\, “Do not forget.” \nProgram\nMozart — Quartet No. 15 in D minor\, K. 421\nRan — Quartet No. 3\, “Glitter\, Doom\, Shards Memory”\nBeethoven — Quartet in C Major\, Op. 59\, No. 3\, “Rhapsody”

SUMMARY:Imani Winds with Fabio Bidini\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Fabio Bidini \nFrom the Klezmer tradition of Eastern Europe to the Swedish essence of Anders Hillborg\, from Manhattan’s Elliott Carter and the Imani Winds’ own Valerie Coleman and Jeff Scott to Mozart’s Vienna with Italy’s fabulous Fabio Bidini (about whom Philadelphia’s Broad Street Review wrote “Yes! This must have been what it was like to hear Beethoven himself improvise”)\, this third Coleman appearance by the Grammy-nominated Imani Winds embraces the established woodwind repertoire while exploring new frontiers. \nAs the Washington Examiner said\, “Imani Winds\, a soulful blend of classical\, world\, Latin and jazz music\, is one of the most exciting and innovative ensembles to have emerged on the classical music scene…. Imani’s passion is for innovation and pushing the boundaries of the traditional wind quintet.” \nProgram\nScott — Startin’ Sumthin’\nCarter — Woodwind Quintet\nColeman — Rubispheres\, for Flute\, Clarinet\, and Bassoon\nHillborg — Six PIeces for Wind Quintet\nMozart — Quintet in E-flat Major for Piano and Winds\, K. 452\nTraditional — Klezmer Dances (arr.

SUMMARY:Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Our musical journey begins with the fourth visit to Coleman audiences by this venerable London-based ensemble\, established in 1967 by the renowned chamber orchestra of the same name in order to perform larger chamber works without relying on guest artists. We will visit Prague\, where Dvořák’s quintet premiered (and earned five ducats in a competition)\, and then travel on to Vienna to hear Schubert’s octet\, which was first performed at the home of Archduke Rudolf of Austria\, to whom Beethoven’s “Archduke Trio” was dedicated. \n“What an awesome octet… Packing the punch of two quartets\, their sound is vivid: bright and highly saturated\,” said Opus One. The Washington Post wrote that “Their sound is sweet and pure\, their ensemble work airtight.” \nProgram\nDvořák — String Quintet No. 2 in G Major\, Op. 77\nSchubert — Octet in F Major for Winds and Strings\, Op. 166\, D. 803 \nDownload the concert program (PDF)

SUMMARY:Enso String Quartet with Clive Greensmith\, Cello
DESCRIPTION:The name Enso is derived from the Japanese Zen painting of the circle\, which represents many things: perfection and imperfection\, the moment of chaos that is creation\, the emptiness of the void\, the endless circle of life\, and the fullness of the spirit. The members of the Enso String Quartet all were drawn to the string quartet repertoire because of its richness and diversity\, and founded the Quartet at Yale University in 1999. The Charleston Daily Mail described a recent concert as “Expertly performed and musically as satisfying as any that I have heard. There is sweet music\, and its name is Enso.” \nGuest artist Clive Greensmith has been principal cellist of London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a member of the Tokyo String Quartet. \nProgram\nWolf — Italian Serenade in G Major for String Quartet\nSchulhoff — Five Pieces for String Quartet\nSchubert — String Quintet in C Major\, Op. 163\, D. 956 \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Escher String Quartet with Jason Vieaux\, Guitar
DESCRIPTION:There is magic in the meeting of musicians. Within months of the 2005 inception of the Escher String Quartet\, Pinchas Zukerman and Itzhak Perlman invited the group to serve as Quartet in Residence at each artist’s summer festival. The Denver Post attributes this to “Rare musical insight and a profound level of cohesion.” Named after the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher\, famed for his mastery of ‘impossible constructions\,’ the Quartet’s ‘impossible musical constructions’ have brought wonder to music lovers worldwide. \nJoining the Quartet will be 2015 Grammy® winner Jason Vieaux\, hailed by NPR as “Perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation.” Of the quintet\, the Connecticut Post wrote that “The members have an unusual affinity for fitting together\, picture perfect.” \nProgram\nMendelssohn — Andante and Scherzo\, Op. 81\, Nos. 1 and 2\nBartók — Quartet No. 1 in A minor\, Op. 7\, Sz. 40\nTárrega — Capricho árabe\nPiazzolla — from L’histoire du tango: Café\, 1930; Bordel\, 1900\nBoccherini — Guitar Quintet in D Major\, G.448\, “Fandango”

SUMMARY:Calder Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The magic of the Calder Quartet was clear in 2002 when it won the Coleman Competition Saunderson Prize\, and now with receipt of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant.

SUMMARY:Elias String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:One of the most fundamental aspects of magic is revelation… and “a revelation” is exactly how BBC Radio 3 described the performances of the Elias String Quartet\, whose name is taken from the German form of the Mendelssohn oratorio Elijah. Since its founding in 1998 the Quartet has amassed an impressive array of awards and accolades: second prize and the Sidney Griller Prize at the 9th London International String Quartet Competition\, the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award\, and engagements at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall\, London’s Wigmore Hall\, and the Berlin Konzerthaus. \n“It was the willingness to push the dramatic edge of the work…that transformed this performance into something extraordinary\,” said the Washington Post. The Guardian described “Playing of wonderful exuberance and fire.” \nProgram\nHaydn — Quartet in C Major\, Op. 54\, No. 2\, Hob. III:57\nStravinsky — Three Pieces for String Quartet\nBeethoven — Quartet in C Major\, Op. 59\, No. 3\, “Razumovsky”
