The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Los Angeles, will host the Harlem Quartet show, “Game-Changers”.
Harlem
Quartet is a string quartet that was formed in 2006. A string quartet
is a musical ensemble of four members wherein two members play violin,
one is a viola player and the fourth one is a cellist.
Harlem
Quartet comprises first violinist Ilmar Gavilán, second violinist
Melissa White, violist Jaime Amador, and cellist Felix Umansky. The
group had won their first ever Grammy in 2013 in the Best Instrumental
Composition category for Mozart Goes Dancing.
Their show at The
Wallis will be about game-changing works from the 19th, 20th and 21st
centuries. The performance will include a work by Ilmar Gavilan’s father
Guido Gavilan.
Harlem Quartet's musical journey began at Carnegie
Hall in 2006. The occasion was the Sphinx Organization's 10th
anniversary gala concert.
