The Boise Chamber Music Series Presents Escher String Quartet
Friday, February 27, 2026 7:30 pm
Location: Morrison Center Recital Hall (C200)
The Escher String Quartet has received acclaim for its profound musical insight and rare tonal beauty. A former BBC New Generation Artist and recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, the quartet has performed at the BBC Proms at Cadogan Hall and is a regular guest at Wigmore Hall. In its hometown of New York, the ensemble serves as season artists of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
Highlights of the 205-2026 season find the Escher Quartet performing in many of the great venues and organizations in the United States, including Alice Tully Hall, The Morgan Library, Ensemble Music Society Indianapolis, Buffalo Chamber Music Society, Arte Musica Montreal, Clark Library Los Angeles, and the Boise Chamber Music Series, among others. In addition to their North American engagements, the quartet returns once again to Wigmore Hall for a BBC live broadcast recital as well as other engagements in Germany and continental Europe.
Their Boise concert program reflects the solid core of the strongest string quartet repertoire, from Mozart’s K. 428 in E-flat Major to two contrasting monuments of the early 20th century. Viennese composer Alexander Zemlinsky’s densely emotional final String Quartet (Suite) No. 4 of 1936 receives its Boise premiere, while Maurice Ravel’s shimmering, long-beloved only String Quartet in F completes the evening.
