A string quartet for the 21st century, the Verona Quartet champions the rich breadth of the string quartet repertory from the time-honoured canon through contemporary classics. Known for its “bold interpretive strength, robust characterization and commanding resonance” (Calgary Herald), the Verona Quartet captivates audiences across four continents. As committed advocates of diverse programming, the Verona Quartet curated the UpClose Chamber Music Series. The Quartet currently serves as the Quartet-in-Residence at the Oberlin Conservatory, and at Nova Scotia’s Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance. The Verona Quartet’s rapid rise to international prominence was fueled by top prize wins at the Wigmore Hall, Melbourne, M-Prize, and Osaka International Chamber Music Competitions, as well as the 2015 Concert Artists Guild Competition. In 2020 the Quartet won Chamber Music America’s coveted 2020 Cleveland Quartet Award. The Verona Quartet’s second album, Shatter, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart in July 2023. This disc showcases works written specifically for the Verona Quartet. Its most recent CD consists of the complete quartets of Ligeti. The Quartet’s name derives from a play by Shakespeare (Two Gentlemen of Verona), whose art of storytelling serves as the Verona Quartet’s inspiration. LMMC debut. Pianist Henry Kramer joins the foursome in Schumann’s Piano Quintet. Kramer is developing a reputation as a musician of rare sensitivity. His insightful and exuberant interpretations won him the 2019 Avery Fisher Career Grant by Lincoln Center – one of the most coveted honours bestowed on young American soloists. 2nd LMMC appearance.
