Juilliard String Quartet Touring U.S. Throughout  the 2006-07 SeasonOne of the most influential ensembles in contemporary American music, the Juilliard String Quartet celebrates its 60th anniversary with a new Sony Classical recording of three string quartets of Dmitri Shostakovich – No. 3 in F Major, Op. 73; No. 14 in F-Sharp Minor, Op. 142; and No. 15 in E-Flat Minor, Op. 144.  For this new release – which also honors the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth – these new performances are coupled with the Juilliard's acclaimed 1999 recording of Shostakovich's Quintet for Piano and Strings in G Minor, Op. 57, with pianist Yefim Bronfman.  This specially priced two-CD set will be in stores October 11.

The new recording renews the Juilliard String Quartet's long and distinguished association with Sony Classical that began in 1949, when the label was known as Columbia Masterworks.  Founded three years earlier at New York's Juilliard School of Music, the quartet continues as Quartet in Residence at Juilliard – which is also celebrating its centenary in 2006.  They were also Quartet in Residence for 40 years at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.  Since 1997, the quartet's members have been Joel Smirnoff and Ronald Copes, violin; Samuel Rhodes, viola; and Joel Krosnick, cello.  Its catalogue of more than 100 recordings has won four Grammy Awards and, in 1986, earned the quartet a place in the Hall of Fame of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

During the current concert season, the Juilliard String Quartet will be performing throughout the Unites States.  Its schedule includes concerts in Concord MA on October 8; Dallas on October 22-23; New York (at Washington Irving High School) on October 28;  Philadelphia on October 29; New York (Alice Tully Hall) on November 8 & 10; Tempe AZ (at Arizona State University on November 16 & January 24, 2007; Houston on January 26 & 29, 2007; the University of Tennessee (February 12, 2007); and New York (Alice Tully Hall) on March 1, 2007.
