YING QUARTET
Thursday, February 22, 2024

Due to a personnel change within the ensemble, the Aizuri Quartet is no longer able to perform on the date we had scheduled. We look forward to hearing them in a future season. We are pleased to say that our friends the Ying Quartet are able to fulfil the date, February 22, 2024.

Ying QUARTET
Thursday, February 22, 2024 at 8 pm

The Ying formed in 1988 and are thus the same generation as the St. Lawrence, who introduced the Ying to us in October 1997 when they played the Mendelssohn octet together as young quartets. The Ying also played for us in Nov. 2007 and Dec. 2009. Their return is long overdue.

The Ying Quartet came as close to the ideal as possible, delivering chamber music of astonishing, refreshing exaltation and exhilaration. — The Los Angeles Times
