Jerusalem Quartet’s Cleveland Chamber Music Society Shostakovich string quartet cycle
Jerusalem Quartet brings Shostakovich’s string quartet cycle to Cleveland

That is changing this month when the Jerusalem Quartet brings these intense, epic works to the Gartner Auditorium at the Cleveland Museum of Art for a five-concert series.
