The all-female string quartet has drawn praise both for bringing “a technical bravado and emotional power” to bold new commissions and for its “flawless” (San Diego Union-Tribune) performances of the great works of the past.
The Aizuri Quartet infuses all their music-making with infectious energy, joy, and warmth, and cultivates curiosity in listeners. Tracing a journey from darkness to dawn, and culminating in the warmth of Haydn’s “Sunrise” Quartet, this program explores the ways in which the atmosphere, psychological power, and political metaphor of the night have been an inspiration for composers from the classical era to the present.
