Piano Quintet in A major, Opus 81

Recognized for its virtuosity, exuberant performance style, and often daring repertory choices, for two decades the Pacifica Quartet has gained international stature as one of the finest chamber ensembles performing today. In 2006, they won an Avery Fisher Career Grant and in 2009 Musical America named them Ensemble of the Year. Playing Dvořák, a defining program highlight, you will hear features of traditional Czech folk elevated to high art. Menahem Pressler, who needs no introduction, —for more than 50 years led the Beaux Arts Trio; now over 90, he continues a sparkling career as a soloist and guest artist.
