The Jerusalem Quartet, world leader in chamber music, joins the Teatro Principal de Alicante

The song of Jerusalem composed by Alexander Pavlovsky (violin), Sergei Bresler (violin), Alexander Gordon (viola) and Kyril Zlotnikov (cello) will be performed at the Teatro Principal de Alicante on March 16 from 20:00 on the eve of the Sociedad de Conciertos de Alicante program. It is one of the most prestigious chamber groups in the world, which has reached such a point of maturity that individual technique disappears and gives way to a unique sonic organism. The program includes works by Hadyn, Janáček and Beethoven.

Passion and precision

“Passion, precision, warmth and an exceptional mix of sound: these are the qualities that distinguish this outstanding work of Israeli music”. This is how The Times (Londres) describes the Jerusalem Quartet. Since forming the group in 1993 and debuting in 1995, the four Israeli musicians have gone through a remarkable journey of growth and artistic development. Their extensive repertoire and extraordinary depth of expression firmly established them as a unique voice within the cuarteto de cuerda tradition.

At the heart of his sound lies a warm, rounded and deeply human tone, accompanied by a harmonious balance between sharp and serious voices. This emphasis allows the composer to combine individual expressiveness with an honest and faithful presentation of the composer’s work. Asimism is the driving force behind the constant improvement of interpretations of the classical repertoire and encourages the discovery of new musical areas.

The Jerusalem Quartet is a regular and valued guest at the most prestigious concert venues in the world. In 2025, 30 years have passed since the song, which celebrated the occasion in a special way by dedicating itself to the interpretation of five Shostakovich compositions, performed in six cities around the world, including the Amsterdam Concert Hall, the Beethoven Festival and Bonn, the Philharmonie de Cologne and the Tonhalle de Zürich.

Both aspects of the 2025/2026 season will include two North American tours as well as numerous events in Europe with concerts in reference halls such as Vienna’s Konzerthaus and London’s Wigmore Hall. Another event in time will be a series of concerts in the spring of 2026 with the famous pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja in prestigious venues such as the Gewandhaus Leipzig and the Alte Oper de Frankfurt.

The Jerusalem Quartet’s performances have won numerous awards and honors, including the Diapason d’Or and the BBC Music Magazine Award in the Camera Music category. His previous publications with Harmonia Mundi highlight a unique approach to music in Central Europe between the wars, a collection of cabaret songs from 1950s Warsaw performed with Israeli soprano Hila Baggio, as well as a second volume of complete songs by Bartók, published in 2020. The book is currently available exclusively to BIS The first release with the album, planned for 2025, will include Shostakovich’s songs No. 2, 7 and 10.
