Music at Kohl Mansion presents Prague's Bennewitz Quartet

Description Music at Kohl Mansion, a nonprofit organization based in Burlingame, brings us the Bennewitz Quartet from Prague. Founded in 1998 and based in Prague, the Bennewitz Quartet is one of the top ensembles on the international chamber music scene. After winning two prestigious competitions – Osaka Chamber Music and Festa 2005, and Premio Paolo Borciani, Italy 2008, the quartet quickly gained the acclaim of the critics. The ensemble has received various awards and in 2019 won the “Classic Prague Award” for the Best Chamber Music Performance of the year. Last season, the Bennewitz Quartet returned to several European venues, including Wigmore Hall London, Laeiszhalle Hamburg, and Konzerthaus Berlin, performing the string quintets by Dvořák and Brahms with guest violist Veronika Hagen. The quartet performed in the United States, making its debut in Providence, Houston, and Tucson, and returned to the Music and Beyond Festival in Ottawa and The Harvard Musical Association. In the Czech Republic, the Bennewitz Quartet presented the final concerts of Dvořák’s string quartets as part of the Dvořák Prague Festival.
