Sell-Out Crowd for Julliard String Quartet

The Juilliard String Quartet performed tonight to a sold out crowd at the Westport Arts Center. They played a program of Hadyn, Beethoven, and modern Scottish composer James MacMillan. The classical music string quartet, founded in 1946 at the Juilliard School in New York by William Schuman, has received numerous awards, including four Grammys and membership in the National Academy Recording Arts and Sciences’ Hall of Fame. In February 2011, the Juilliard Quartet received the NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award for its outstanding contributions to recorded classical music. The next performance in the 2017-18 Concert Series is the Calidore String Quartet on March 2. Tickets are available at http://www.westportartscenter.org.
