SF Performances Presents: Benjamin Grosvenor with Doric String Quartet
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Powerfully compelling pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is widely acclaimed for his electrifying performances, distinctive sound, and insightful interpretations. His virtuosic command over the most arduous technical complexities underpins the remarkable depth and understanding of his music-making. A pianist of widespread international acclaim, he has been Artist-in-Residence at the prestigious Wigmore Hall in London with three varying projects. Previously, he was Artist-in-Residence at both Radio France and with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. His "astounding technical gifts, the freshness of his imagination, his intense concentration, the absence of any kind of show, and the unmistakable sense of poetic immersion directed solely at the realization of music" have been lauded by Suddeutsche Zeitung.
The London-based Doric String Quartet is one of Europe's hottest young ensembles. "It's hugely enjoyable to be led through these subtle, wonderful works by such enthusiastic guides" (The Strad). With repertoire ranging from Haydn through to Bartok, Ades and Brett Dean, the Quartet's schedule takes them to the leading concert halls around the world including Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Vienna Konzerthaus, Berlin Konzerthaus, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Louvre, Carnegie Hall, and Kioi Hall Tokyo, as well as regular performances at Wigmore Hall.
The program will include:
BEETHOVEN: Quartet in F Minor, Op. 95 "Serioso"
HAYDN: Quartet in D Major, Op. 50, No. 6 "The Frog"
BRIDGE: Quintet
$70/$60/$50.
