Sun 10/31 @ 3PM
The Jerusalem Quartet was founded in 1993 and since its debut in 1996 has had only one member change, quite a record for a long-running string quartet (That member landed a slot in an orchestra).
Today, the four Israelis — first violinist Alexander Pavlovsky, second violinist Sergei Bresler, violist Ori Kam and cellist Kyril Zlotnikov — perform all over the world, playing a repertoire that includes Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Shostakovich, Haydn, Debussy, Ravel and even Yiddish music. They released a recording Beethoven’s six string quartets in 2016.
One of those, his Quartet in C minor, Op. 59, No. 3, will be on the program when they perform in Cleveland at the Maltz Performing Arts Center as the guests of the Cleveland Chamber Music Society. They’ll also be playing Mozart’s Quartet K. 575, and Shostakovich’s Quartet No. 7 in F sharp minor Op. 108. A pre-concert interview at 2pm will be conducted by Eric Kisch, producer/host of Beachwood-based Musical Passions Productions.
