Chamber Quartet To Perform In Livermore Saturday

LIVERMORE, CA — The Telegraph Quartet, winner of the 2016 Naumburg Competition, will perform in Livermore this Saturday, May 4. They will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s lyrical String Quartet No. 21 in D major, K. 575 “The Prussian”; Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s bold yet elusive String Quartet No. 6, Op. 35, in honor of the composer’s centenary; and Antonin Dvorak’s warmhearted and pastoral String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat major, Op. 51 "Slavonic.”

The Telegraph Quartet formed in 2013 and perform both standard chamber music and contemporary, non-standard works with equal passion. In addition to winning the Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 2016, they took the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.

Last fall the Telegraph Quartet released its debut album on the Centaur label. It features three kaleidoscopic and kinetic modern string quartets from the 20th century – Leon Kirchner’s String Quartet No. 1 (1949); Anton Webern’s Funf Satze (Five Movements), Op. 5 (1909); and Benjamin Britten’s Three Divertimenti (1936).

The Quartet has performed in concert halls, music festivals, and academic institutions across the United States and abroad, including New York City’s Carnegie Hall, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Chamber Masters Series and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival, and the Emilia Romagna Festival.
