The younger members of the Berliner Philharmoniker also uphold the Philharmoniker tradition of becoming involved in chamber music alongside their orchestral activities. In the 2012/2013 season, the four musicians Philipp Bohnen and Marlene Ito (violin), Martin von der Nahmer (viola), and Rachel Helleur (cello) founded the Varian Fry Quartet, named after the American journalist and freedom fighter Varian Fry (October 15, 1907 September 13, 1967). Fry ran a rescue network in Vichy France that helped over 2,000 anti-Nazi and Jewish refugees to escape Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, among them being Lion and Marta Feuchtwanger.

The November 18th concert at Villa Aurora is the quartet’s exclusive appearence in Southern California.
