Since its foundation in 1948, Israel has developed a thriving classical music culture. The latest concert from Pro Musica Hebraica, presented Sunday night in the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater, was the first in the series to focus exclusively on music from that country. The Ariel Quartet, formed in Jerusalem, gave intense, even frenetic performances of four pieces for string quartet by three Israeli composers.
