Julliard String Quartet Performs

Hosted by the Westport Arts Center, the famed Julliard String Quartet performed today at the Pequot Library in Southport. The group, widely known as the quintessential American string quartet, performed a salute to the immortal music of Vienna — modern masterpieces by Webern and Berg and, to close, Beethoven’s triumphant final quartet in F Major, Op. 135.  The ensemble (which consists of first violinist Joseph Lin, second violinist Ronald Copes, violist Roger Tapping, and cellist Joel Krosnick) has performed throughout the world in recitals, at music festivals, and with major symphony orchestras.
