Courtesy photo Acclaimed quartet comes to Hilo United by their love of chamber music, four undergraduate students came together in 2008 at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music to form the Dover Quartet. Eight years later, they have become one of the most sought-after string quartets in the world. The award-winning quartet, whose members are all younger than 30, will perform music by Mozart, Beethoven and Benjamin Britten at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the University of Hawaii at Hilo Performing Arts Center as part of the Hawai‘i Concert Society’s 55th season. Comprised of violinists Joel Link and Bryan Lee, violist Milena Pajaro- van de Stadt and cellist Camden Shaw, the Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom in 2013 following a stunning sweep of the Banff International String Quartet Competition, winning not only the grand prize but all three special prizes. Only five years previous to that, at the Curtis Institute, Link and Lee played in one ensemble together, while Pajaro-van de Stadt and Shaw did the same in another. At one point, all four students were available at the same time and felt the need to play together, Link said. “Immediately, we just felt like a lot of stuff clicked,” he said. The Hilo concert is part of their first Hawaii tour, which also includes performances on Oahu and Maui. First on the program for the Hilo concert is Mozart’s F major quartet K. 590, the last one he wrote. Published one year after the composer’s death, it is regarded as a culmination of the classical quartet form developed by Haydn and Mozart. Next will be Britten’s remarkable Second String Quartet, which was commissioned to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the death of the famous English composer Henry Purcell. The concert will conclude with Beethoven’s Opus 59 No. 3 string quartet, one of three commissioned by the Russian ambassador in Vienna, and the most classical of the three. When the Italian violinist Felix Radicati publicly admitted that he found them incomprehensible, Beethoven responded, “Oh, they are not for you, but for a later age.” Beethoven’s response goes hand in hand with violist Pajaro van de Stadt’s view of her young quartet’s opportunity and its responsibility in carrying on the legacy of those that have come before it. As she put it, “We are so lucky to be involved in the fulfilling and enriching world of chamber music. But we are not only performers, we are ambassadors between the centuries, and must show the world why what we do is important to mankind and not just to ourselves.” Tickets for the Monday concert by the Dover Quartet are $25 (general), $20 (60 and older) and $10 (students), and are available at The Most Irresistible Shop, Music Exchange and the UH-Hilo Performing Arts Center Box Office. Remaining tickets will be available at the door after 6:45 p.m. The Dover Quartet will perform Monday in Hilo. Find a Friend in the Classifieds
