Circadian String Quartet, Presented by Berkeley Chamber Performances

Experience the acclaimed Circadian String Quartet in a bold, immersive program that pulses with intensity, lyricism, and discovery. With appearances at major festivals and leading stages across the country, this Bay Area–based ensemble brings virtuosity and fearless musicality to every performance.

The evening moves from the richly textured lyricism of Hugo Kauder to the lush romanticism of Anton Webern’s Langsamer Satz, culminating in Pavel Haas’s cinematic String Quartet No. 2, “From the Monkey Mountains.” Vibrant klezmer interludes woven throughout infuse the program with rhythmic drive, warmth, and spirit.

This is chamber music like no other — striking contrasts, sweeping emotion, intimate one moment, exhilarating the next.

*An alternate performance will also play at Berkeley City Club on Tuesday, March 10 at 7:30PM. Follow the link for tickets.
