META4, the string quartet based in Finland, burst onto the scene by winning top-prize at the prestigious Shostakovich Competition (2004) and the Joseph Haydn Quartet Competition (2007). Since then the group has become one of the most in-demand quartets active around the world, including recent appearances in London, Paris, Madrid, and the Far East. Violinists Antti Tikkanen and Minna Pensola – familiar to Staunton audiences for their many appearances at the summer festival – are joined by violist Atte Kilpeläinen and cellist Tomas Djupsjöbacka for a six-week US tour this fall.

The Blackfriars concert is their only performance in Virginia. 10 South Market Street, Staunton. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.

$25-$35.00 adults.
