Admired and sought after for both its fresh interpretations of the classical music canon and its championing of works by 20th and 21st-century composers, Borromeo String Quartet has been hailed for its “edge-of-the-seat performances” by the Boston Globe. They perform here on April 13 at the Chrysler Museum with the Verona Quartet, hailed as an “outstanding ensemble…cohesive yet full of temperament” by The New York Times, in a special octet collaboration.
