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 โthe most important American quartet in history.โ The ensemble performs two major works by French composers: Ravelโs only string quartet, a lively masterpiece and one of the composerโs first successes, as well as Dutilleuxโs โAinsi la Nuit,โ a modern classic commissioned for the Juilliard Quartet. The program concludes with Dvoลรกkโs popular โAmericanโ Quartet, influenced by folk tunes, spirituals, and even bird songs that Dvoลรกk encountered in New York City and in the Czech community of Spillville, Iowa.
