Ysaÿe Quartet March 1, 2011

Among the premier quartets on the international circuit, this French group takes its name from the violinist, quartet player and composer Eugène Ysaÿe. The first French quartet to win the Grand Prix at the Evian International Competition, the Ysaÿe combines the “visceral energy of young players with over 15 years of international experience in music making of the highest order” (Washington Post). Their PCMS return features a Continental program of works by Fauré, Mozart and Brahms.
