Recent recipients of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and winners of the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, the New York City-based Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory.  Heavily influenced by the idea of “approaching the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established,” the quartet, much to our delight, will perform the following program this summer:

• Dinuk Wijeratne:  The Disappearance of Lisa Gherardini
Billy ChildsString Quartet No. 2, Awakening
Felix MendelssohnQuartet No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 44, No. 3

The city of Seoul is a dynamic symbol of the ensemble’s cultural roots as well as their artistic intensity, which they’re sure to bring to their summer program at HVCMC:

• Dmitri Shostakovich:  Piano Trio No. 1 in C minor, Op. 8
• Cécile Chaminade:  Piano Trio No. 2 in A minor, Op. 34
• Uzong Choe:  Scattered Dreams
