Shanghai Quartet with Paul Neubauer, viola February 24, 2013

Renowned for its passionate musicality and impressive technique, the Shanghai Quartet has become one of the world’s foremost chamber ensembles. Its elegant style melds the delicacy of Eastern music with the emotional breadth of Western repertoire, allowing it to traverse musical genres from masterpieces of Western music to cutting-edge contemporary works.

Paul Neubauer’s exceptional musicality and effortless playing distinguish him as one of this generation’s quintessential artists. Balancing a solo career with performances as an artist member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Neubauer at age 21 was the youngest principal string player in the New York Philharmonic’s history. He is the chamber music director of the OK Mozart Festival in Bartlesville, Oklahoma as well as artistic director of the “Chamber Music Extravaganza” in Curaçao. Neubauer’s performance will include the Brahms Quintet in G Major, op. 111.
