Info:
This soaring young English quartet has made its mark on the chamber music scene as one of the most vibrant ensembles of the new generation. Its reputation for fresh interpretations of classic repertoire-including Beethoven as featured this season-and bold forays into new music and important collaborations was more than borne out in its San Francisco Performances debut in 2013 with pianist Jonathan Biss and composer Timo Andres.
The Elias String Quartet take their name from Mendelssohn's oratorio, Elijah, of which Elias is in its German form, and have quickly established themselves as one of the most intense and vibrant quartets of their generation.
The Quartet made its North American debut in March, 2012 to great critical acclaim. In addition to a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall, they were praised in the Washington Post for their "shimmering beauty," and the Philadelphia Inquirer proclaimed, "Few quartets at any stage of their evolution have this much personality."
The quartet has been chosen to participate in BBC Radio 3's prestigious New Generation Artists' scheme, and they are the recipients of a 2010 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award. With the support of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, the Elias Quartet are now immersed in their Beethoven Project: learning and performing all Beethoven string quartets.
They have performed alongside artists such as Michael Collins, Jonathan Biss, Simon Crawford-Phillips, Ralph Kirshbaum, Alice Neary, Ann Murray, Joan Rogers, Mark Padmore, Roger Vignoles, Michel Dalberto, Peter Cropper, Bernard Gregor-Smith, Ettore Causa, Timothy Boulton, Robin Ireland, Adrian Brendel, Anthony Marwood and with the Endellion, Jerusalem and Vertavo Quartets.
The full program to be performed:
BEETHOVEN: Quartet in F minor, Opus 95 Quartet in F Major, Opus 135 Quartet in C-sharp minor, Opus 131
