6:30 Concert Series Returns Sept. 16 With Pro Arte Quartet
On Sept. 16, 2019, Pro Arte Quartet, one of the world's most distinguished string quartets, kicks-off the first featured event of the 2019-2020 6:30 Concert Series.

Founded by conservatory students in Brussels in 1912, Pro Arte Quartet become one of the most celebrated ensembles in Europe in the first half of the twentieth century.

The University of Wisconsin responded to the emergency by offering the quartet a permanent campus home, the first such arrangement at a major American university. Current PAQ members, together since 1995, are David Perry and Suzanne Beia, violin; Sally Chisholm, viola; and Parry Karp, cello. See the full 6:30 Concert schedule.
