After her wonderful appearances at the “Fazioli Concert Hall” in 2008 and 2010, Jin Ju, the extraordinary Chinese pianist who is now residing in Florence, is now coming back to Sacile for a chamber music project with the “Leipziger Streichquartett”, agroup that since its foundation in 1988, has been one of the leading string quartets on the international panorama.

The group excelled in many international competitions; for example they placed second (with first prize not assigned) at the “ARD Competition” in Munich and won the “Busch Brothers Award” and the “Siemens Music Award”. The quartet has made more that 70 recordings (with a repertoire ranging form Mozart to Cage and including the unabridged operas by Brahms, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert and all the “Second Viennese School”) that were highly praised by the international critics, and granted the group major awards in the recording field such as “Diapason d’Or” and the “ECHO-Klassik”.

In 2009 Claudio Abbado invited the ensemble to become a member of the “Lucerne Festival Orchestra” and to teach at the “Tokyo University of the Art”.

Jin Ju with the “Leipziger Streichquartett” will offer us two of the greatest masterpieces of the Romantic repertoire for piano and strings.
