    The original members of the Tokyo Quartet all attended the Toho Gakuen during the 1960s and, inspired by the Juilliard Quartet, went on to form Japan’s first permanent string quartet. In recent years the group has gained an international flair with the addition of cellist Clive Greensmith and first violinist Martin Beaver. The quartet’s musical personality, however, has remained remarkably consistent, their interpretations distinguished by a determination to serve the music rather than to display virtuosity. Their second of their two PCMS appearances this season promises to be another “passionate, richly toned discussion among intelligent, charismatic equals” (New York Times) featuring quartets by Haydn, Bartók and Dvorák.
