Synopsis

Album Description

The Afiara String Quartet, protégés of the Alexander String Quartet and recent Fellows in San Francisco State's renowned Morrison Chamber Music Center, make their recording debut in dynamic performances of Schubert and Mendelssohn classics. Exquisite interpretations, beautifully recorded, demonstrate why this ensemble won 2008 top honors in both Munich's ARD competition and NYC's Concert Artists Guild. Joined by their mentors, the Afiara quartet delivers a Mendelssohn Octet that has seldom sounded more festive and celebratory.
