Juilliard String Quartet

Hear a seriously talented string quartet all the way from NYC

Juilliard String Quartet

When: TUE, January 28, 7:30pm–9:35pm
Where: Musikverein
Entry: TBD

The classical string foursome known as the Juilliard String Quartet were founded in 1946 in NYC. You’ve probably guessed from the photo that the current members aren’t the same ones they started out with, but they know how to produce beautiful sounds from what are essentially pieces of wood with cat gut strung to them. They’ll be performing Mozart’s Streichquartett B-Dur, KV 458, „Jagd-Quartett“, Britten’s Streichquartett Nr. 3, op. 94, Brahms’ Streichquartett a-Moll, op. 51/2 and The Chemical Brothers’ Block Rockin’ Beats*.

*one of these songs may not be performed
