About

Final U.S. Tour

After nearly four decades performing together, the Vermeer String Quartet makes its final Washington appearance as part of the group's U.S. farewell tour. Its members--hailing from Israel, Germany, Britain, and the United States--have brought an inimitable blend of musical and cultural backgrounds to their performances over the years. The Vermeer's final Terrace Theater program includes some of the great chamber works of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, respectively: Beethoven's playful "Compliments" Quartet, Schumann's lush and expressive Quartet in A major, and Britten's ethereal Quartet No. 3, which alludes to the composer's final opera, Death in Venice.
