Formosa Quartet
Friday, April 3, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm CDT
$10.00 – $40.00
EVENT CANCELLED. The extraordinary Formosa Quartet lands in Chicago just long enough to perform in Guarneri Hall and we couldn’t be happier! Winners of both the First Prize and Amadeus Prize at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, the Formosa Quartet is “one of the very best quartets of their generation” (David Soyer, cellist, Guarneri Quartet).
Hailed as “spellbinding” (The Strad) and “remarkably fine” (Gramophone), the Formosa Quartet has given critically acclaimed performances at the Library of Congress, the Da Camera Society of Los Angeles, the Chicago Cultural Center, the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center, the National Concert Hall in Taipei, Wigmore Hall in London, die Glocke Bremen, and the Kammermusiksaal at the Berliner Philharmonie. The ensemble is deeply committed to championing Taiwanese music and promoting the arts in Taiwan, as well as exploring diverse and adventurous mediums for string quartet.
Program
Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet in A minor, Opus 132
…and a musical second set including selections from the Formosa’s exclusive collection of world, folk, pop, jazz, and poetry arrangements
Musicians
Jasmine Lin, violin
Wayne Lee, violin
Che-Yen Chen, viola
Deborah Pae, cello
