as if they were new. It is the paradigmatic Americanstring quartet ensemble.

Tucson loves the Pražák Quartet.In this we are joined by the European critical community,which has given its recordings numerous awards. Its performancewill include the premiere of another of our commissions, astring quartet by Jiri Gemrot.

Quartet in residence at theUniversity of Illinois and theUniversity of Chicago, thePacifica Quartet is on a

trajectory that will send it among the top ranks ofchamber ensembles worldwide. It will perform with the principal clarinetist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Anthony McGill.

Trio Solisti, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, has earned a reputation for soulful and passionate performances marked by soloistic virtuosity, electric energy, seamless ensemble playing, and thrilling abandon. It will premiere an AFCM-commissioned piano trio by Lowell Liebermann.

The Harlem Quartet declares that its missionis to advance diversity in

In 2010 a medical emergency necessitated that theÉbène Quartet appear in Tucson as a trio with pianistGilles Vonsattel. That concert was a triumph. This season the Ebène Quartet brings to Tucson its blend of virtuosity and edge-of-your-seat excitement, whole, complete, and entire.
