Happy birthday to our fearless @rhiannonteifi , queen of dry humor and certified dog mom đ¶đ
Whether itâs holding down the inner voices, making us laugh in rehearsal, or showing us adorable Teddy content we absolutely did ask for, she brings so much heart and warmth to the quartet- both through her playing and her incredible musical soul! We love you Rhi Rhi! â€ïž
Yesterday marked our final concert as Curating Ensemble-in-Residence with the @nysosseminar , a role that meant so much to us. Weâre grateful for the opportunity to shape programs, connect with audiences, and bring chamber music into so many different spaces. On Thursday we visited WomanKind to share our music in an intimate and powerful setting. And to close out the season, we presented and collaborated with the @katarinastringquartet , who were so energetic and fun to play with!
Many thanks to @rohanakenin and the Schneider Concerts and everyone who joined us along the way! And thanks to @cara_pogossian for joining us for our residency! We hope to be back in the near future!
Such a fun time at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts! @jorgensenuconn The audience was so engaged and interactive, giving amazing energy back! Followed by a wonderful masterclass the next morning, we had a great time working with these thoughtful and curious young musicians.
Thank you to Rod for having us and the whole team for your hospitality, and for the incredible dinner that kept us very happy (and full!)
Thank you to @julianseneyviola for joining us and your beautiful playing and being so awesome!
Performing at the Kalliroscope Gallery surrounded by the stunning artwork, including the âUlyssesâ- a 400 element piece created by Paul Matisse, hanging right above us, was such a special and immersive experience.
Thank you to Susan for having us and the wonderful team for their warm hospitality, and to the fantastic @dernit_burnett for joining us on viola!
What a week with the Schneider Concerts-three concerts including our main stage and two special outreaches sharing music at Women in Need and Sugar Hill Childrenâs Museum to warm and curious audiences, many who have never heard a string quartet before! They drew, sang, clapped, and even danced with the music!
Thank you to the incredible @kernolga for joining us on the Dvorak Piano Quintet. The collaboration was so much fun, your artistry, energy, and generosity made the experience so inspiring! And thanks to @cara_pogossian for joining us for the week and for playing so beautifully! đ We were also excited to present the NYC premiere of âSoulâ by our own @christinaboueyviolin , a piece so close to our hearts, and a joy to share it with this community.
Thank you to Rohana and the @nysosseminar for the hospitality and for creating spaces where music can really connect. See you on April 26 with the @katarinastringquartet !
A short and sweet trip to Providence for the Rhode Island Chamber Music Concerts! Thanks for having us and for your hospitality, it was so nice meeting the warm audience after the concert as well!
