The Penderecki String Quartet, approaching the third decade of an extraordinary career, has become one of their generation’s most celebrated chamber ensembles. These four musicians from Poland, Canada, and the USA bring their varied yet collective experience to create performances demonstrating their “remarkable” range of technical excellence and emotional sweep (Toronto, Globe and Mail). Their recent schedule has included concerts in New York (Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall), Amsterdam (Concertgebouw), Los Angeles (REDCAT at Disney Hall), St. Petersburg, Paris, Prague, Berlin, Rome, Belgrade, Zagreb, Atlanta, as well as appearances at international festivals in Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Venezuela, Brazil, and China.
