National Public Radio describes the renowned Guarneri String Quartet as "among the most revered and enduring ensembles of its kind in the world." Since its founding in 1964, the quartet has circled the globe countless times, playing in the most prestigious halls in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Guarneri has been featured on many television and radio specials, documentaries, and educational presentations in North America and abroad. In addition to mastering the finest works in the quartet repertoire, the group has performed and popularized works by today's foremost composers. At the end of this season, the quartet will retire after 45 years of performing. Don't miss this opportunity to hear this legendary ensemble one last time as the inaugural concert of this year's Winter Chamber Music Festival, with Northwestern faculty member Peter Lloyd as special guest.
