On Saturday March 16, the Juilliard String Quartet will return to West Michigan to perform on the Fontana series. First violinist Areta Zhulla, the newest member of the group (she joined last year), tells Cara Lieurance that her roots with the Juilliard School and the famous quartet are deep: both were a primary source of learning and mentorship in her life.
Zhulla introduces the pieces on the program (works of Haydn, Bartok and Beethoven), and they discuss the importance of regularly championing and commissioning new works for string quartet.
The Juilliard String Quartet's concert is at the Dalton Center Recital Hall at Western Michigan University on Saturday, Mar 16 at 7:30 pm.
