Approaching its 40th anniversary, the Tokyo String Quartet is regarded as one of the most supreme chamber ensembles ever. The group has collaborated with a remarkable array of artists and composers, built a comprehensive catalogue of critically acclaimed recordings, and established a distinguished teaching record. But its thrilling—and always sold-out—concerts are where the magic truly happens, as witnessed by ecstatic crowds from Australia to Estonia and from Scandinavia to the Far East. "If the Tokyo String Quartet isn't the world's greatest chamber music ensemble, it's hard to imagine which group is" (The Washington Post).

Program: Beethoven/Quartet in G Major, Op. 18, No. 2, Compliments; Schubert/Quartet in A minor, D. 804, Rosamunde; Smetana/Quartet in E Minor, From My Life
