About the Event
Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition, the New York City-based Isidore String Quartet approaches the repertory with a spirit of rediscovery — “the established as if it were brand new” — bringing clarity, balance, and expressive depth to music across eras.
The program moves from the lyrical charm of Frank Bridge to the stormy intensity of Mendelssohn, the sharp contrasts of Britten, and more. Across centuries, this music continues to feel immediate, intimate, and alive.
Works:
Britten: Three Divertimenti for String Quartet
Haydn: String Quartet in F minor, op. 20, no. 5
Bridge: Three Idylls for String Quartet, H. 67
Mendelssohn: String Quartet no. 6 in F minor, op. 80
