ABOUT THIS PERFORMANCE

With a career spanning over three decades, the much sought-after Brentano Quartet returns for their ninth appearance on the Chamber Music Detroit stage.  Now occupying the coveted faculty residency at Yale University previously held by the Tokyo String Quartet, they will perform works by Schubert, Beethoven, and Timo Andres.

The Brentano String Quartet is something special…Their music-making is private, delicate and fresh, but by its very intimacy and importance it seizes attention.” “As usual with this ensemble, the performances were full of life…They seem to be listening to the same heartbeat.
— The New York Times
