Milestone for Juilliard
Venue: Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, New York City Date: February 22, 2016, at 7:30 PM Change is inevitable, and the Juilliard String Quartet is no exception.

Mr. Krosnick’s replacement is Astrid Schween, who will join him in a program that includes the following: Mozart’s Quartet in C Major, K. 465 (“Dissonance”) New York première of Richard Wernick’s Quartet No. 9, and Schubert’s String Quintet (with Schween).
