SUMMARY:Isidore Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Isidore String Quartet—winners of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and of the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition—presents a program that explores reverence\, innovation\, and legacy through the lens of Johannes Brahms. Often viewed as an academic traditionalist and tortured perfectionist\, German composer Brahms drew deep inspiration from the compositional mastery of Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven. In this program\, his radiant “Geistliches Lied” and richly textured “Quartet in B-Flat Major” are paired with Beethoven’s “Quartet Op. 18\, No. 6”\, a work that balances classical clarity with expressive breadth. A choral arrangement by a Bach work further underscores the lineage of musical thought that Brahms so admired. With precision and warmth\, violinists Adrian Steele and Phoenix Avalon\, violist Devin Moore\, and cellist Joshua McClendon invite audience members into a conversation across generations—one marked by polyphonic brilliance\, structural integrity\, and emotional depth. Formed at The Juilliard School\, the quartet has brought its prize-winning and adventurous spirit to major stages around the world. Season Sponsor: Nice Moves / Red Door Realty. \nThis performance is made possible with the generous support of Kazue Semba. \nTickets $30-$42

SUMMARY:heartSTRINGS! Cheng & Balourdet Quartet
DESCRIPTION:For his final residency concert of the season\, our 2025/26 Musician-in-Residence cellist Bryan Cheng\, joins the prize-winning Balourdet Quartet—who wowed our Halifax audience just a couple of years ago—for a captivating evening of chamber music that bridges the sensuous sound world of French Impressionism and the emotional depth of the Viennese Romantic tradition. The program features Maurice Ravel’s luminous “String Quartet in F major\,” a piece renowned for its shimmering textures\, rhythmic vitality\, and refined harmonic palette. Equally compelling is Franz Schubert’s monumental “String Quintet in C major\,” widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in the chamber music repertoire—introspective\, expansive\, and rich with lyrical beauty. Cheng\, known for his interpretive insight and expressive range\, brings added resonance to Schubert’s poignant score\, while the Balourdet Quartet delivers performances marked by warmth\, clarity\, and a deep sense of ensemble connection. Together\, these five string players offer a richly layered musical experience that balances structure with spontaneity\, lightness with gravity\, and precision with heart. Presented with the generous support of Musician-in-Residence Presenting Partner – Lang Optometry and Eyewear. Season Sponsor: Nice Moves / Red Door Realty. \nTickets: $30-42
