The Dover Quartet has been on a wild ride since its sweep of all the prizes at the Banff International String Quartet Competition a little more than a decade ago. In the interim, the group was nominated for two Grammy Awards and named one of the greatest string quartets of the last 100 years by BBC Music Magazine. The Dover returns to Berkeley with a program of contrasting temperaments, ranging from Mozart’s ebullient Quartet in B-flat major and Sibelius’ spare and brooding Quartet in D minor, to Brahms’ sumptuous first quartet.
