Pacifica Quartet in the Theatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro

O Pacifica Quartet presents on September 21, at 7pm, in the Theatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro, as attraction of the 31st edition of the Series The Globe/Dellarte International Concerts. Formed by Simin Ganatra and Austin Hartman, on violins, Mark Holloway, on viola, and Brandon Let's, in the cello, the American ensemble features a program that runs through different periods of chamber music, gathering works by Felix Mendelssohn, György Ligeti and Ludwig van Beethoven.

The concert begins with the romanticism of Mendelssohn, from the “Quartet in A Minor, Op. 13”, and goes to the modern language of Ligeti, with the “Quartet No. 1, Metamorphoses nocturnes”. In the second part, the repertoire returns to the 19th century with the "Quartet in B major flat, Op. 130", Beethoven, accompanied by the "Great Escape", Op. 133, final originally designed by the composer for the work.

Founded in 1994, the Pacifica Quartet gained international projection over three decades of trajectory. The group won important chamber music awards, such as the Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 1998, and the Cleveland Quartet Prize in 2002. In 2006, he received the Avery Fisher Art Scholarship and in 2026 was awarded the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Award, awarded by Washington Performing Arts. The group also adds two Grammy awards, won in 2009 and 2021, plus an nomination in 2024.
