Segerstrom Center’s 2016-17 Chamber Music Series Kicks Off with Center Debut of Germany’s Auryn Quartet

Performing together for the past 35 years, the dynamic and mesmerizing Auryn Quartet makes its Segerstrom Center debut on Tuesday, October 11 in Samueli Theater for an evening of chamber music that The Cleveland Plain Dealer declares, “[is] in the European tradition that blends elegance of sound with seamless phrasing and clarity of detail.”

Having recorded all 68 of Haydn’s quartets, naturally the evening will include a selection by the composer, Haydn’s String Quartet Opus 77/1 G Major.

The program continues with Bartók’s String Quartet No. 2, Stravinsky’s Three Pieces for String Quartet and Mozart’s String Quartet K. 465 “Dissonance.” The Auryn Quartet includes Matthias Lingenfelder, violin; Jens Oppermann, violin; Stewart Eaton, viola and Andreas Arndt, cello.
