One of the world’s foremost international chamber ensembles, the Shanghai Quartet is famous for its infusion of Eastern and Western music, classical and contemporary. The
New York Times is especially taken with the fab four, calling their performances “superb” and declaring: “If there is a string quartet currently in circulation that produces a more beautiful sound than the Shanghai Quartet, the name doesn’t immediately come to mind.” For its two Portland performances, the quartet will perform material by composers ranging from Beethoven to Dvorák to the quartet’s own Yi-Wen Jiang’s “Chinasong.”
