Isidore String Quartet - Awakenings (performance)
The New York City-based Isidore String Quartet delivers a captivating program exploring the human experience and the epiphanic nature of life.
How do transformative moments change our perception of the world?
The New York City-based Isidore String Quartet delivers a captivating program exploring the human experience and the epiphanic nature of life, fresh from winning an Avery Fisher Career Grant. Works by Bach, Childs and Beethoven explore the various responses to notable moments in the composers' lives—from the explorative adventures of childhood to the inquisitive expedition that is adulthood. The up-and-coming quartet approaches the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established.
The ensemble was formed in 2019 at the Juilliard School with a vision to revisit, rediscover and reinvigorate the repertory. The name Isidore recognizes the ensemble's musical connection to the Juilliard Quartet: one of that group's early members was legendary violinist Isidore Cohen.
