The renowned Dover Quartet, recognized with a GRAMMY® nomination, will grace the stage alongside Norway's acclaimed pianist and GRAMMY® nominee, Leif Ove Andsnes, for an enchanting evening of music. Set for April 26 at 8 p.m. at the SOKA Performing Arts Center, this event is a highlight of their brief tour, which also features stops at celebrated venues like the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.
