| Praised for their technical
command and interpretative subtleties, the Johannes Quartet is rapidly
becoming an audience favorite. The Johannes brings together the
concertmaster of the Chicago Symphony, Robert Chen; the first American
to win the Paganini Violin Competition in 24 years, Soovin Kim; and the
Associate Principal viola and cello of the Philadelphia Orchestra, C.J.
Chang and Peter Stumpf respectively. The quartet members spent many
summers at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, the birthplace of
many of the world’s renowned quartets. Highlights of the 2001-02
season include their Carnegie Hall debut, their first “St. Paul Sunday”
appearance and performances throughout the mid-Atlantic states, many
supported by the Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour program. 2002-03 availability in period March 15-April 6, 2003 |
