SierraLogo 2009 Season

Welcome
To our 2009-2010 Season!
Afiara-Welcome

What an exciting Season!

We have some truly wonderful music planned for you this season, and we will be pleased to welcome back Afiara for our January Program. The all-Canadian Afiara String Quartet is the Morrison Fellowship Quartet-in-Residence at the International Center for the Arts, San Francisco State University, where they serve as teaching assistants to their mentors, the world-renowned Alexander String Quartet. Awarded 2nd Prize at the Munich ARD International Music Competition, the San Francisco Classical Voice calls the Afiara Quartet "a terrifically unified, versatile, and moving ensemble" with "startling intensity" and a "powerful, keen-edged collective sound".
