The current members of the Juilliard String Quartet are violinists Areta Zhulla and Leonard Fu, violist Molly Carr, and cellist Astrid Schween. They were the first ensemble presented by Chamber Music Pittsburgh in its inaugural season of October 1961. The current members explain the quartet's focus on American music, carrying on the spirit of the group from founder Robert Mann. They remember their influences, including cellist Jacqueline du Pré, Violinist Donald Weilerstein, violist Michael Tree, Pinchas Zukerman, and the many members of the Juilliard who have made contributions.
On the program for their upcoming concert are Michelle Barzel Ross' Birds on the Run, her arrangement of Bach's Prelude in E-flat Major, plus Shostakovich's Seventh Quartet and Dvořák's American Quintet. Don't miss the Juilliard String Quartet at Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland on Monday, March 30th at 7:30pm. More information and tickets can be found on Chamber Music Pittsburgh's website.
