Circadian Quartet in Berkeley

Known for bold, original performances that bridge cultures and genres, Bay Area–based Circadian String Quartet brings classical and contemporary works to life with clarity, intensity, and a spirit of discovery.

Performed by two violins, viola, and cello, their program, their program traces music shaped by memory and resilience—featuring the richly expressive Hugo Kauder, the vibrant and deeply human Pavel Haas, and the romantic lyricism of Anton Webern.
