The Ying Quartet Returns to Boise Chamber Music Series
{mp3}80685-2{/mp3}
The Ying Quartet occupies a position of unique prominence in the classical music world, combining brilliantly communicative performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music in today's world. Now in its second decade as a quartet, the Yings have established themselves as an ensemble of the highest musical qualifications in their tours across the United States and abroad. Their performances regularly take place in many of the world's most important concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. At the same time, the Quartet's belief that concert music can also be a meaningful part of everyday life has also drawn the foursome to perform in settings as diverse as the workplace, schools, juvenile prisons, and the White House.
Friday night's concert will open with Felix Mendelssohn's Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 12, a grand work written while the composer was on the "grand tour." Bela Bartok's Sixth String Quartet follows, a work of unsurpassed personal emotion and expressivity, his last quartet composed during the second world war, and the concert will close with Antonin Dvorak's affable Quartet in A-flat Major, Op. 105.
