Homage to Great Artists — Balourdet Quartet

The Balourdet Quartet made its CMSFW debut in 2024 and delighted our audience with a dynamic performance. It is acclaimed for its vibrant energy and masterful blend of technical precision and emotional depth that brings a fresh perspective to both beloved classics and modern compositions. Its unique closeness and willingness to take creative risks earned it the 2024 Avery Fisher Career Grant, as well as Chamber Music America’s 2024 Cleveland Quartet Award. 

Program includes:

• Giacomo Puccini — “Crisantemi”
• Dmitri Shostakovich — String Quartet No. 3
• Felix Mendelssohn — String Quartet No. 2, Op. 13

Artists or program may be subject to change.

The multimedia Pre-Concert Conversation starts at 1:15 p.m. as Gary Levinson, CMSFW artistic director, adds insights about the composers and music.
