One of the most internationally acclaimed quartet ensembles,\u00a0Attacca Quartet, will take the stage of the Bologna Performing Arts Center’s Recital Hall Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
The performance is part of the new Recital Hall series, featuring classical music in an intimate setting in the BPAC\u2019s 145-seat recital hall.<\/p>\n
From sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall and Radio City Musical Hall to National Public Radio\u2019s far-reaching “Tiny Desk” concerts, the Attacca Quartet celebrates the timeless beauty of the string quartet for a broad audience and this sublime art form.<\/p>\n
Praised by The Strad for possessing \u201cmaturity beyond its members\u2019 years,\u201d the group was formed at the Juilliard School in 2003 and made their professional debut in 2007 as part of the Artists International Winners Series in Carnegie Hall\u2019s Weill Recital Hall.<\/p>\n
From 2011-2013 they served as the Juilliard Graduate Resident String Quartet, and for the 2014-15 season, they were selected as the Quartet in Residence by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.<\/p>\n
As stated by The Washington Post, \u201cMastery like this is scarce enough in quartets that have played together for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n
The group has engaged in extensive educational and community outreach projects, serving as guest artists and teaching fellows at the Lincoln Center Institute, the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and the Woodlands ChamberFest in Texas.<\/p>\n
During their time in Cleveland, Attacca Quartet will give a mini-performance at a local assisted living facility in addition to providing a masterclass for Delta State University\u2019s Department of Music students.<\/p>\n
