Juilliard String Quartet

The Robert Mann Chamber Music Series continues with a performance by the Juilliard String Quartet, of which Mann was the founding first violinist, and which The Boston Globe has called โ€œthe most important American quartet in history.โ€ The ensemble performs two major works by French composers: Ravelโ€™s only string quartet, a lively masterpiece and one of the composerโ€™s first successes, as well as Dutilleuxโ€™s โ€œAinsi la Nuit,โ€ a modern classic commissioned for the Juilliard Quartet. The program concludes with Dvoล™รกkโ€™s popular โ€œAmericanโ€ Quartet, influenced by folk tunes, spirituals, and even bird songs that Dvoล™รกk encountered in New York City and in the Czech community of Spillville, Iowa.
