Recently appointed The Juilliard School's Graduate Quartet in Residence, the Afiara Quartet has received critical praise, as well as support from the world's best string quartets, "The Afiara Quartet gives every piece they play a whole world of energy, style and pizazz. I always feel renewed by their performances." --David Harrington, Kronos Quartet.  As teaching assistants to the renowned Juilliard String Quartet, the members of Afiara work with current graduate students at Juilliard, while maintaining a rigorous performance schedule. 

This winter, they bring a unique Beethoven/Mozart program to SOPAC.  Widely recognized at the composer of the greatest string quartets, Beethoven owes much of his development to Mozart's influence.  Afiara traces this growth through performances of Beethoven's early works, Mozart's transformative string quartet, "Dissonance" and the calmative string piece of Beethoven's career, Op. 59/1 which would elevate the form to new and transformative heights.
