Friends of Chamber Music hosts a return performance by the Pavel Haas Quartet from the Czech Republic at the Vancouver Playhouse on March 16 at 3 pm.

Renowned across the globe for its richness of timbre, infectious passion, and intuitive rapport, the group delights audiences with its burnished string sound. Founded in 2002, the quartet is named for the modern Moravian-Jewish composer Pavel Haas, who died at Auschwitz during the Holocaust and has a significant place in Czech music.

The musicians will open with Martinů’s acerbic and concise String Quartet No. 3, a mere 12 minutes in length. Korngold’s dark String Quartet No. 2, replete with Viennese musical imagery, concludes the first half of the program. The concert finishes with Dvořák’s ambitious String Quartet No. 11 in C major, considered to be among his best compositions.

Tickets to see this Sunday matinee performance and more details are available through Friends of Chamber Music.
