Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary with Pacifica Quartet

Grammy Award-winning Pacifica Quartet has established itself as the embodiment of the American quartet sound. Join us 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, Schaeffer Auditorium, where they will feature 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. 3, 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. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 610-683-4092. KU students can access $15 tickets by logging in with their MyKU login, or get all performances for $25 with our new Student Membership.
