On March 13, the Afiara Quartet will make its second Harker Concert Series appearance. Currently in residency at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Afiara has enjoyed a career as one of classical music’s most revered young quartets, winning the Young Canadian Musicians Award, the Concert Artist Guild International Competition, top honors at the Banff International String Quartet Competition and more. Their pedigree as musicians has led to performances at top venues including Carnegie Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall and the Museum of Modern Art in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This concert will feature an octet with Harker’s own string quartet joining Afiara on stage, the culmination of Afiara’s three-day residency with the school.
The concert will take place at the Nichols Hall auditorium on Harker’s upper school campus, located at 500 Saratoga Ave. in San Jose. All concerts begin at 8 p.m. A 7 p.m. reception will be held prior to each concert, with complimentary soft drinks and hors d'oeuvres. A cash bar for wine and beer also will be available.
