About the Event
An elegant performance by the Isidore String Quartet, showcasing masterpieces by Mozart, Childs, and Dvořák. They are currently the most popular string quartet export from the USA: the Isidore String Quartet. Just three years after its formation, the New York ensemble won the 14th Banff Competition, followed a year later by the Avery Fisher Career Grant, which catapulted the quartet into the top league of chamber music. The ensemble takes its name from violinist Isidore Cohen, a former member of the legendary Juilliard String Quartet, and combines tradition and innovation in the spirit of that ensemble. The musicians do not see playing in a quartet as an elitist art, but rather as a medium for an accessible and collaborative musical experience. With this in mind, they are also committed to giving disadvantaged people access to classical music through the project “Music Heals Us”. The program in which Mozart's “Dissonance Quartet” and Dvořák's Opus 106 meet a work by the American jazz musician and composer Billy Childs is also worth discovering.
