A lunchtime recital of works by Webern and Beethoven will be given by the Parrenin Quartet (pictured above) in the Memorial Theatre on Thursday August 8.

The Quartet was formed in Paris in 1944, and since then has been internationally acclaimed. After their recent Auckland concert, the Auckland Star reviewer wrote: "The Parrenin Quartet's playing is a miracle of precision, its balance is literally astounding and its tone, though big and brilliant, is also warm and disarming. For once, four string players of virtuoso calibre have been prepared to sink their individuality completely; there is no weak link in this Quartet".
