Synopsis:

Acclaimed as an "outstanding ensemble...cohesive yet full of temperament" (The New York Times), the Verona Quartet has firmly established itself amongst the most distinguished ensembles on the chamber music scene.

A string quartet for the 21st century, the Quartet champions the rich breadth of the string quartet repertoire from the time-honoured canon through to contemporary classics. The Quartet strives for a dynamic, imaginative approach to collaboration and programming that champions cross-cultural and interdisciplinary enterprises.

The Quartet currently serves on the faculty of the Oberlin College and Conservatory as Quartet-in-Residence.

The Verona Quartet's visit is supported by the Paeonia Foundation. Don't miss the opportunity to witness them in a chamber masterclass with YST students:
