The Alexander String Quartet, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006, has
performed in the major music capitals of four continents, securing its standing
among the world’s premier ensembles. Widely admired for its interpretations of
Beethoven, Mozart and Shostakovich, the quartet has also established itself as
an important advocate of new music.

136,” Bartok’s “First Quartet,” and Beethoven’s “Opus 132.”
