Music at Bunker Hill presents the Johannes String Quartet on April 3 at 3 p.m. Johannes String Quartet brings together Soovin Kim; the assistant principal second violinist of the Boston Symphony, Julianne Lee; the principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, C.J. Chang; and former principal cellist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Peter Stumpf, currently on faculty at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.
The quartet will perform Mozart's celebrated String Quartet in d minor, K 421, and Beethoven's profoundly beautiful String Quartet in e minor, op. 59 no.2. They will be joined by violist William Frampton and cellist Priscilla Lee for Brahms' bright and lush Sextet in B flat Major, op. 18.
