The Pacifica Quartet and cellist Johannes Moser will premiere a new work this fall by composer Julia Wolfe, recently named a 2016 MacArthur Fellow.

The Pacifica Quartet just completed its third triumphant tour throughout all of Australia. Presented by Musica Viva, the Pacifica gave performances in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Newcastle, and Sydney. The Sydney Morning Herald raved that "the resultant interpretation [was] a remarkable series of illuminating moments." 

The Pacifica Quartet joins forces with legendary pianist Menahem Pressler for Johannes Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F Minor, Op. 34, a pillar of German Romanticism that opens with one of the most recognizable melodies in classical music.
