SUMMARY:Brentano String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Brentano String Quartet \nProgramming to be announced this spring. \nBuy Season Pass\nA season pass includes tickets to all 20 subscription series concerts\, June 29 – August 7. Individual tickets and six and twelve-concert passes will be available later this spring. \n  \nBrentano String Quartet\nMark Steinberg\, Serena Canin\, violin • Misha Amory\, viola • Nina Lee\, cello \nWith a career spanning over three decades\, the Brentano Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. The New York Times extols its “luxuriously warm sound [and] yearning lyricism; and the Times (London) hails their “wonderful\, selfless music-making.” Known for its unique sensibility\, probing interpretive style\, and original programming\, the Quartet has performed across five continents in the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals\, thus establishing itself as one of the world’s preeminent ensembles. \nDedicated and highly sought after as educators\, the Quartet has served as Artists-in-Residence at the Yale School of Music for the past decade. They also lead the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival and appear regularly at the Taos School of Music. Previously\, the Quartet served for fifteen years as Ensemble-in-Residence at Princeton University. \nIn the 2024-25 concert season\, the Quartet will premiere a program called “Evocations of Home\,” featuring a new work by Lei Liang in honor of the late composer Chou Wen-chung. In spring 2025\, they will perform Haydn’s complete Op. 33 quartets at New York’s Carnegie Hall and in several other U.S. cities. Other recent projects include “Dido Reimagined\,” a monodrama for quartet and voice with soprano Dawn Upshaw\, composed by Pulitzer-winning composer Melinda Wagner and librettist Stephanie Fleischmann\, as well as a viola quintet\, “Heart Speaks to Heart\,” by composer James MacMillan. \nFormed in 1992\, The Brentano Quartet has received numerous accolades\, including\, in 1995\, the prestigious Naumburg and Cleveland Quartet Awards. They have been privileged to collaborate with such artists as soprano Jessye Norman and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato\, as well as pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Jonathan Biss. The Quartet has commissioned works from some of the most important composers of our time\, including Bruce Adolphe\, Matthew Aucoin\, Gabriela Frank\, Stephen Hartke\, Vijay Iyer\, Steven Mackey\, and Charles Wuorinen. \nThe Quartet’s notable recordings include Beethoven’s Quartet\, Op. 131 (Aeon) which was featured in the 2012 film “A Late Quartet\,” starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Christopher Walken\, and a 2017 live album with Joyce DiDonato\, “Into the Fire—Live from Wigmore Hall” (Warner.) Their most recent release features the K. 428 and K. 465 (“Dissonance”) Quartets of Mozart for the Azica label. \nThe Quartet is named for Antonie Brentano\, whom many scholars consider to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved\,” the intended recipient of his famous love confession
