Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: The Shanghai Quartet Tickets

CMS is proud to present the Shanghai Quartet, an esteemed ensemble which has set the standard for string quartet performance in Asia for over forty years, in their only New York City appearance this season. Easily bridging borders, the Shanghai offers a program of cross-cultural pollination, from Haydn’s “Rider” (composed after an inspiring trip to London), to Dvořák’s “American” (written in a Czech community in Iowa), and into the 20th century with Chinese-American composer Tan Dun’s "Feng-Ya-Song," a piece that launched his international career.
