Vancouver Playhouse
600 Hamilton St., Vancouver, BC V6B 5N6

Pre-concert talk at 2:15pm

It’s hard to believe that 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Jerusalem Quartet. Since their first appearance for the VRS in 2001, this ensemble has become a regular and beloved presence on the world’s great concert stages. They have appeared many times in Vancouver, and a highlight in the annals of the VRS was their 5-concert performance of all the Shostakovich String Quartets in the Telus Theatre at the Chan Centre in 2006. They are returning to us to perform the same program they played in their Wigmore Hall debut 25 years ago, an appearance which launched them to international fame.
