BERLIN PHILHARMONIA QUARTET

By PAM HARBAUGH

The esteemed Berlin Philharmonia Quartet will perform Tuesday night as part of the series presented by the MELBOURNE CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY.

The string players are all members of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra. They are: violinists Daniel Stabrawa and Christian Stadelmann; violist Neithard Resa; and cellist Dietmar Schwalke. If the most recent concert presented by the Chamber Society is any indication (the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet performed), this one should resonate for some time.

They have performed in important halls throughout the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York and Wigmore Hall in London. They also regularly appear at music festivals, such as the “Salzburger Festspiele” in Austria. They performed at the Salzburger Festspiele in Austria and privately for Pope Benedikt XVI and for the Spanish Royal family in the Palacio Real.

On Tuesday, the string quartet is scheduled to perform: Haydn’s String Quartet No. 51 in G Major, Op. 64, No. 4; Beethoven’s String Quartet in Bb Major, Op. 18 No. 6; and Schumann’s String Quartet No. 1 in A minor, Op. 41, No. 1.

Get there early in order to find parking.

The concert begins 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 7 at St. Marks United Methodist Church, 2030 N. A1A, Indialantic, FL. Tickets are $35 general and $10 students. Call 321-213-5100 or visit MelbourneChamberMusicSociety.org.
