The Afiara String Quartet balances a lively interest in new works with deep insight into core classical repertoire. The all-Canadian Afiara offers performances of "startling intensity" with a "powerful, keen-edged collective sound" (San Francisco Classical Voice). Formed in 2006 and mentored at San Francisco State University by the Alexander String Quartet, the Afiara takes its name from the Spanish fiar, meaning "to trust", a basic element vital to the depth and joy of its music-making. The quartet is currently in residence at The Juilliard School, serving as teaching assistants to the Juilliard String Quartet.
Pre-Concert Talk at 6 pm with Kai Christiansen; complimentary post concert wine reception with the artists.
