    Tokyo String Quartet to open Yerevan Perspectives music fest

    April 1, 2012 - 16:03 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Tokyo String Quartet will open Yerevan Perspectives
    13th International Music Festival to kick off in Armenian capital
    April 3, 2012.

    The Tokyo String Quartet will play on "the Paganini Quartet," a
    collection of renowned Stradivarius instruments named after legendary
    virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, who acquired and played them during the
    19th century.

    The instruments have been on loan to the quartet from the Nippon Music
    Foundation since 1995, when they were purchased from the Corcoran
    Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

    Tokyo String Quartet was formed in 1969 at the Juilliard School of
    Music. The Quartet won First Prizes at the Coleman Competition, the
    Munich Competition and the Young Concert Artists International
    Auditions, which resulted in a recording contract with Deutsche
    Grammophon.

    They won the Grand Prix du Disque Montreux, "Best Chamber Music
    Recording of the Year" awards from both Stereo Review and Gramophone
    magazines, and seven Grammy nominations.
