Event
Afiara String Quartet
Over the years, the Redwood Arts Council has been known to have up-and-coming artists whose careers suddenly blew up shortly after they appeared in Occidental. Beginning with Kronos, it has been our pleasure to seek out impressive groups with such potential and feature them. We booked the Afiara Quartet last year on such a hunch, and since then they have claimed the prestigious Concert Artists Guild International Competition in New York, and 2nd Prize at the prestigious Munich ARD Competition.
The all-Canadian Afiara String Quartet is the Morrison Fellowship Quartet-in-Residence at the International Center for the Arts, San Francisco State University, where they serve as teaching assistants to their mentors, the world-renowned Alexander String Quartet. The Afiara String Quartet takes its name from the Spanish fiar, meaning "to trust". It has been said that chamber music is a conversation between friends. Within the support of friendship, the Afiaras found that trusting each other, in rehearsal and on stage, was vital to the depth and joy of their music-making.
The Quartet will be playing:
Mozart String Quartet K. 428
Bartok String Quartet No. 3
Beethoven String Quartet Op. 130
