| Description | |
Recognized for its virtuosity, exuberant performance style and often daring repertory choices, the Pacifica Quartet has carved out a compelling musical path. Formed in 1994, the ensemble quickly won top prizes including the 1998 Naumburg Chamber Music Competition. The quartet was honored in 2003 with Chamber Music Americas Cleveland Quartet Award and appointment to the Lincoln Centers Chamber Music Society Two program for gifted young musicians. In 2006, the Pacifica Quartet became only the second chamber music ensemble to be awarded a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. The quartet won the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance and was also named 2009 Ensemble of the Year by Musical America.
Tickets are $32 general admission; $28 seniors and VCU employees; $10 full-time students.
