Bold, exhilarating performances and the exploration of interesting repertoire have earned the Los Angeles Piano Quartet international stature as the premier ensemble of its kind. Since its 1977 debut in Los Angeles, the ensemble has been in demand for appearances across North America.
The quartet has been a popular guest on Minnesota Public Radioâs âSt Paul Sundayâ and New Yorkâs âLive from WNCN.â It has also been featured at the Bermuda and Tucson festivals and the Eugene and Carmel Bach festivals. In the 2002-03 season, the group appeared at both the Library of Congress and the National Gallery in Washington D.C., and on concert series and campuses across the country.
Members are the violinists Michi Wiancko and Katherine Murdock, the cellist Peter Rejto, and the pianist Xak Bjerken.
Free parking and handicap access for all Newtown Friends of Music concerts are available at Edmond Town Hall. Light refreshments will be served following the performance, at which time the audience will also have the opportunity to speak with the artists in an informal setting.
Tickets are $15. Children between the ages of five and 14 are welcome and admitted free of charge when accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. Reservations are being suggested, but last-minute tickets will also be available when the town hallâs box office opens at 2 pm the day of the concert.
