The music of the early-mid 20th century was profoundly influenced by some of Classical Music’s greatest masters such as Johannes Brahms and was boldly looking toward international and folk influences even during the century’s darkest points. New West Symphony’s Holocaust Remembrance presentations feature New West Musicians and the internationally acclaimed Jerusalem Quartet performing an array of music illuminating vast stylistic and cultural treasures.

Jerusalem Quartet
“Passion, precision, warmth, a gold blend: these are the trademarks of this excellent Israeli string quartet.”
Such was the New York Times’ impression of the Jerusalem Quartet. Since the ensemble’s founding in 1993 and subsequent 1996 debut, the four Israeli musicians have embarked on a journey of growth and maturation. This journey has resulted in a wide repertoire and stunning depth of expression, which carries on the string quartet tradition in a unique manner.
