Pacifica Quartet
In May 2006, the Pacifica Quartet became only the second chamber music ensemble to be awarded a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. In 2005-2006, the Pacifica made a European tour that included a re-engagement at Wigmore Hall in London, and debuts in Brussels and Stuttgart, played a three-concert series in Chicago, performed two concerts at Lincoln Center in New York, two in Washington DC, and concerts across the country from Boston to New Orleans to Tucson. Collaborations included the Emerson String Quartet, the Miro Quartet, the Avalon Quartet, and pianists Wu Han and Ursula Oppens. The Pacifica Quartet celebrated its 10th anniversary in the 2004-2005 season with its first tour of Japan, its first appearance at Wigmore Hall in London, a performance of all five Elliott Carter quartets for San Francisco Performances, a concert at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, the release of the complete Mendelssohn string quartets on the Cedille label, and more than 60 concerts across the country.
