Event Description
“A triumph of ensemble playing” – The New York Times
Fry Street Quartet has perfected a “blend of technical precision and scorching spontaneity” (Strand). Since securing the Millennium Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in 2000, the Quartet has reached audiences from Carnegie Hall to Sarajevo and Jerusalem, exploring the medium of the string quartet and its life-affirming potential with “profound understanding, …depth of expression and stunning technical astuteness” (Deseret Morning News). In its Richmond performance, the quartet will be joined by pianist Robert McDonald, a faculty member at The Juilliard School who has performed with several leading American string quartets and as the recital partner of violinists Midori and Isaac Stern.
