Jerusalem Quartet Inon Barnatan, piano

With passion, precision, warmth, and a gorgeous blend, the excellent Jerusalem Quartet returns for the first time in five years to Rackham Auditorium, performing Paul Ben-Haim’s rhapsodic quartet alongside a quartet by Haydn. Founded in 1993, the quartet’s wide repertoire and stunning depth of expression carries on the string quartet tradition with its warm, full, human sound.

In this concert, the Quartet is joined by pianist Inon Barnatan, celebrated for his sensitive and poetic collaborations. Barnatan closes out a week of residency activities, bookended by his appearances with Renée Fleming and the Jerusalem Quartet, with whom he will perform Dvořák’s sublime Piano Quintet.
