Revered Jerusalem String Quartet brings us Beethoven Op. 130 (with the Grosse Fuge), Haydn “Sunrise” Quartet, Op. 76, No. 4, and a new work by Shulamit Ran in their anticipated return to PSC
<h3>PROGRAM:&nbsp;</h3>
Haydn: Quartet in Bb-Major, Op. 76, No. 4 (“Sunrise”) Shulamit Ran: New Work composed for Jerusalem Quartet ~ intermission ~ Beethoven: Quartet in Bb-Major, Op. 130 (with Grosse Fugue finale, Op. 133) 
JERUSALEM STRING QUARTET Alexander Pavlovsky and Sergei Bresler, violins Ori Kam, viola Kyril Zlotnikov, cello
<h3>Bio:&nbsp;</h3>
“Passion, precision, warmth, a gold blend: these are the trademarks of this excellent Israeli string quartet.”&nbsp;
Such was the Times’ (London) impression of the Jerusalem Quartet. Since the ensemble's founding in 1993 and subsequent 1995 debut, the four Israeli musicians have embarked on a journey of growth and maturation. Their breadth of repertoire and stunning depth of expression have firmly established their unique place in the string quartet tradition. The ensemble has found its core in a warm, full, human sound and an egalitarian balance between high and low voices. This approach allows the quartet to maintain a healthy relationship between individual expression and a transparent and respectful presentation of the composer's work. It is also the drive and motivation for their continuing refinement of its interpretations of the classical repertoire as well as exploration of new epochs.
