TAHOE VISTA, Calif. – The internationally-acclaimed Dior Quartet will play in North Tahoe on November 5.

The Quartet takes their name from the French word “D’or” which means gold. It’s a rare, elegant, and malleable element, precious to those who own it and often gifted to loved ones. Gold holds the memory of the earth and absorbs the stories of the people who give it shape and form.

Driven by their multicultural backgrounds and strong moral values, the Dior Quartet’s repertoire and projects often delve into the exploration of the immigrant experience through music. In their Tahoe program, for example, “Three Ancient Airs, “from the Coplas Sefardies by Alberto Hemsi, draw on beloved Sephardic folk melodies and portray love and yearning for homeland. The concert also will feature a composition by Hong Kong-born Kevin Lau – evocative of natural forces: Gliding and Winds of Change. The concert will open with Quartettsatz by Schubert and conclude with Ravel’s energetic String Quartet in F Major.
