a fine program to awaken and reawaken audiences to the beauty and joy of hearing chamber music.” – Cultural Voice of North Carolina
Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and 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. The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of ‘approaching the established as if it were new, and the new as if it were firmly established.’ While performing in venues such as Alice Tully Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Ravinia Festival, the group cultivates joyful, accessible, and intimate experiences that create community through in-depth relationships and explore the power of the collective to uplift the individual.
