Ensō String Quartet
Russell Lane at Gilman Drive, San Diego, 92037
Cost: $9 - $54
The Grammy-nominated Ensō String Quartet was founded at Yale University in 1999, going on to win numerous awards, including top prizes at the Concert Artist Guild competition and the Banff International String Quartet competition. Derived from the Japanese zen painting of the circle, enso represents many things: perfection and imperfection, the moment of chaos that is creation, the emptiness of the void, the endless circle of life, and the fullness of the spirit.
The program features Alberto Ginastera's String Quartet No. 2, Giacomo Puccini's Crisantemi, Maurice Ravel's String Quartet in F Major, and Hugo Wolf's Italian Serenade.
