About the Performance
With its powerful energy and captivating, cohesive sound, GRAMMY-winning Pacifica has established itself as the embodiment of the American quartet sound. To recognize the historic Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary) of America in 2026, the Pacifica Quartet features three works that create a musical collage based on themes from the American experience. From the incorporation of American hymn tunes in the first quartet of Charles Ives, to the popular sounds from Hollywood’s silver screen in Korngold’s String Quartet No. 2, to the indigenous folk influences found in Dvorak’s beloved “American” Quartet, this program gives listeners a unique opportunity to celebrate the diversity of America’s musical landscape captured over its 250-year history.
