Shanghai Quartet
March 8, 2009

The quartet melds the delicacy of Eastern Music with the power of Western repertoire, from traditional Chinese folk music to the most challenging classical works. The quartet will premiere Krzysztof Penderecki's String Quartet No. 3 that has been commissioned in honor of their 25th Anniversary in 2008-09 and Maestro Penderecki's 75th Birthday.
