The Oak Trio is a convergence of three completely unique personalities into one entity: a pianist who transfixes with his complete mastery over sound, time, and space; a violinist who finds a dazzling truth and freedom in the fusion of his instrument and his voice; and a cellist who restlessly questions, digs deep, and wonders what it all means.
The trio is comprised of pianist Evren Ozel, violinist Joshua Brown, and cellist Leland Ko.
The Phaidros Quartet is the junction of four unique, sensitive, and sincere individuals, founded not just out of love for the genre, but out of a devotion to something deeply human that exists just as much as an experience shared between people as it does as notes encoded on a page.
The quartet debuted at the renowned Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont and is comprised of violinists Stephanie Zyzak & Claire Bourg; violist Zhanbo Zheng; and cellist Leland Ko. Click here for performance videos of Beethoven and Stravinsky!
Evocative and gripping, this program invites listeners to reimagine their connection to the natural world. From Haydn, Beethoven, and Anájikon to Fauré’s hopeful and heartbreaking Piano Quintet No. 1 in D minor, audiences will be reminded that joy and unity are always possible.
Featuring Katarina String Quartet and pianist Carter Johnson.
Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du Temps (Quartet for the End of Time) preceded by Brahms’ Clarinet Trio and Oswald Huỳnh’s Fissured Edifices, Fractured Artifices — a meditation on identity and place — form a reflective program that blurs the lines between ends, beginnings, and the unknown.
