Cuarteto Quiroga Performs Beethoven, Haydn, and Turina
La Jolla, C.A.—ArtPower at UC San Diego presents Spanish string quartet Cuarteto Quiroga on Friday, November 13, at 8 p.m. Known for its distinctive style and bold approach to the quartet repertoire, the quartet will perform Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 1 in F Major; Haydn’s String Quartet No. 3 in G Minor; and Joaquín Turina’s La oración del torero. The evening performance is part of ArtPower’s chamber music series and takes place at the Department of Music’s Conrad Prebys Concert Hall at UC San Diego, with a pre-performance ArtTalk at 7 p.m. at The Loft.

Named after the Spanish violinist Manuel Quiroga, the award–winning Cuarteto Quiroga has established itself as one of the most dynamic and unique quartet of its generation. They are the quartet-in-residence at Madrid’s Royal Palace, in charge of the Royal Collection of decorated Stradivarius instruments, at the Museo Cerralbo Foundation, and at the Miguel Delibes Auditorium.
About the Chamber Music Series
The UC San Diego campus community has always enjoyed chamber music performances, a tradition established by many of our founding faculty members. The origins of our Chamber Music series have their roots in the university concert series inaugurated in 1963. In 1996, Robert and Sonia Hamburger, both avid chamber music supporters and both on the faculty at UC San Diego, established the Hamburger Endowment Fund. When ArtPower was created in 2004, the Chamber Music series became an integral part of the program.
