Juilliard String Quartet Opens 2004/05 Season October 1 With Library Of Congress Tour In California Special Events of Juilliard Quartet's 2004/05 Season Include a Series of Concerts in the U.S. with Oboist Heinz Holliger, Two Tours of Europe and One in the Far East; and Pairs of Concerts in New York and Philadelphia.
The Juilliard String Quartet launches its 2004/05 season in California with a special series of performances and educational activities sponsored by the Library of Congress, where the Juilliard Quartet has been the distinguished Quartet in Residence for over 40 years. The Music Division of the Library of Congress will present the Juilliard Quartet in concerts in Idyllwild (October 1), Santa Barbara (Oct. 3) and at the Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles (Oct. 4) as an innovative initiative to bring one of the world's premier ensembles to a new and extended audience free of charge. The Library will also tour an exhibition of rare music manuscripts and instruments from the Library's archives to the concert halls, and sponsor master classes and workshops with the Juilliard String Quartet and local music students.
The Juilliard Quartet opens the second half of the season in a rare collaboration with virtuoso oboist Heinz Holliger, with whom they will play a seven-concert tour with performances at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, Detroit, Montreal, San Francisco Performances, and in Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska. The program will include the oboe quartets of Elliott Carter and Mozart as well as Schubert's Quartettsatz and Dvorák's "American" Quartet.
In addition, the Juilliard Quartet is presented by the Juilliard School, where it has been the Quartet in Residence since its founding in 1946, in its annual two-concert series at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall; and returns once again to Washington, D.C. December 17 for a concert at the Library of Congress' Coolidge Auditorium in a continuation of the Quartet's onsite residency there.
Domestic touring takes the Juilliard Quartet to major universities, including the Krannert Center at the University of Illinois, the Wharton Center at Michigan State University, the University of Florida in Gainesville, and to Princeton University, as well as to chamber music societies and performing arts centers in Ohio, Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida and Colorado, where they will open the Denver Friends of Chamber Music's season in the new Newman Center of the Performing Arts at the University of Denver. They will also play the inaugural concert of the guest artist series in the new Edna Rizley Griffin Concert Hall at Colorado State University.
In two tours to Europe, the Juilliard Quartet will play at the Wigmore Hall in London, three concerts in Düsseldorf as the completion of a two-year Beethoven cycle there, two concerts at Amsterdam's Concertgebuow, as well as concerts in France, Norway, Finland, Austria, and in Berlin.
The Juilliard Quartet completes the 2004/05 season with a tour of the Far East for concerts in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and with their annual returns for festival concerts at Ravinia and Tanglewood in early summer.
