‘This ensemble exudes mature, seasoned musicianship. Together for many years, its members do not try to showboat or emote; they focus on the music...’ The Washington Post
After six decades as an institution in the business, it’s no surprise that the Fine Arts Quartet has been described as ‘one of the gold-plated names in chamber music’. Long one of the most respected chamber groups in the USA, this concert finds the modern day Fine Arts bringing their famous energy to Grieg’s neglected, but passionately romantic, G minor quartet, as well as a modern American classic, Philip Glass’s Second Quartet.
