The World's Best Chamber Music Ensembles
During its 40th Anniversary Season
2011-2012
Pavel Haas Quartet
Thursday, April 26, 2012
Temple Israel, 7:30 p.m.
This string quartet is named after the Czech composer Pavel Haas
(1899-1944), who was deported from his home country in 1941, initially imprisoned at the work camp Terezin, and finally died at Auschwitz. The group selected the name primarily because of his importance to Czech music.
Some of history’s greatest composers chose chamber music as the medium in which to express their most profound and intimate musical thoughts.
Chamber music is usually performed in ensembles of 3-8 instruments, and in most cases performed without a conductor, allowing each performer greater artistic freedom.
Chamber music repertoire spans four centuries, beginning with early Baroque composers such as Rameau, Telemann and Bach.
At Concerts International, we embrace a broad definition of chamber music, and are committed to presenting a wide variety of ensembles and repertoire, to present the art-form of chamber music at its fullest and richest.
