Pro
Arte Quartet
Friday,

Location: Alvord Theatre,
Northland College
Founded
in 1912 by violinist Alphonse Onnou, the Pro Arte Quartet became
the Court Quartet to Queen Elizabeth of Belgium. Its world
reputation blossomed in 1919 when the Quartet began the first of
many tours and earned such acclaim that composers, notably
Milhaud, Honegger and Bartok, gave the ensemble new works to
introduce. By 1926, the Quartet made its debut in New York and
toured American cities. They returned for 30 tours to the United
States, often under the auspices of Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge, noted patron of chamber music. Their first visit to
Madison was in 1938. Two years later, the musicians were stranded
in the United States by the outbreak of World War II and accepted
a residency at the UW-Madison, the first such residency in a major
American university. Today, the Pro Arte functions as a resource
for the university and the state.
