The Roth Quartet was founded by Feri Roth in Budapest in 1926. In the 1930s, with the rise of fascism in Europe, the quartet relocated to the United States. After years of touring, the quartet settled at UCLA to become the Chancellor's String Quartet In Residence. This performance, an episode from an uncompleted series, has not been seen publicly since 1966.
