Filmmaker
Michael Peroff will introduce this film and participate in a Q&A
after each screening.
When Mao’s
Cultural Revolution ended, China’s door cracked open. Four young,
classical musicians seized the opportunity to flee to the West as
classical music was banned. This film explores how the Shanghai
Quartet began a lifetime adventure – studying with great masters,
attending Juilliard, participating in a residence at Montclair State, and performing at major music
festivals and best classical music venues like Carnegie Hall, Lincoln
Center and The Kennedy Center. This film showcases their lives,
how they got to the top and the price they pay.
General Admission is $15.00. Member tickets are $12.00. Become
