Ladies' Morning Musical Club presents The Jerusalem Quartet

JERUSALEM QUARTET, strings

Alexander Pavlovsky & Sergei Bresler, violins, Ori Kam, viola; Kyril Zlotnikov, cello

2025 marks the thirtieth year of the Jerusalem Quartet. “Passion, precision, warmth, a gold blend” are the terms in which the New York Times described this ensemble. With its founding in the mid-1990s, these Israeli musicians embarked on a journey of growth and maturation that has resulted in a wide repertory and great depth of expression: a journey still motivated by the energy and curiosity with which the ensemble began more than a quarter century ago and has by now been experienced on five continents. Until 2025 the Quartet recorded exclusively for Harmonia Mundi – 13 releases in all – which have been awarded numerous prizes. The Haydn quartets CD won the chamber category of the 2010 BBC Music magazine awards and the Diapason d’Or Arte, while their release of Schubert’s Death and the Maiden Quartet received an ECHO Klassik Award in 2009 and was featured as Editor’s Choice in the July 2008 edition of Gramophone Magazine. A recent release of special import is The Yiddish Cabaret  ̶  Jewish music in Central Europe between the wars and its far-reaching influence. As of 2025, the Jerusalem Quartet is now with BIS; its initial release consists of three Shostakovich quartets (2,7,10). 4^th LMMC concert.

Subscriptions for the 10-concert series are $350, and $100 for students 26 years and under and single tickets are available at $60 and $25 for students.
