Shanghai Quartet's four-decade growth path epitomizes the development of chamber music in China. This season, the quartet still chose the stage of the concert hall as an important stop in their 40th-anniversary tour. In Barber and Beethoven's classic string quartet works, the audience will enjoy their performance that blends the delicacy of the East with the emotional breadth of Western works. Penderecki's String Quartet No.3 "Leaves of an Unwritten Diary" demonstrates their deep friendship with the Polish composer.
