Behind the Strings

When Mao’s Cultural Revolution ended, China’s door cracked open, four young, classical musicians seized the opportunity to flee to the West. The Quartet began a lifetime adventure – studying with great masters, attending Juilliard, and performing at major music festivals and the best classical music venues. Now China keeps inviting them back to perform their once forbidden music.
