The Pacifica Quartet makes its way back to Alice Tully Hall to perform another profound program at New York’s famed Lincoln Center. The talented group of musicians has received worldwide recognition for their beautiful music. They’ve toured throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia, and their awards include the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance. They are also affiliated with multiple U.S. universities, including: The University of Illinois: Champaign-Urbana, the University of Chicago, and the Jacob School of Music at Indiana University.
One of the Quartet’s musicians, Sibbi Bernhardsson began playing the violin when he was just five years old in his native Iceland. When the Quartet is not on an international tour, they can be found performing at music festivals around the world, including the Reykjavik Art Festival.
