Formed in 2019, the Isidore String Quartet, winners of the 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, aims to refresh classical repertoire. Influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet, they approach music with a fresh perspective. Originating from the Juilliard School, they regrouped at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in 2021 under Joel Krosnick’s mentorship. The quartet received coaching from luminaries including Joseph Lin, Astrid Schween, and Miriam Fried. Committed to revitalizing established works and embracing innovation, they bring a dynamic energy to their performances, embodying their ethos of treating tradition with innovation and the new with reverence.

Wednesday, Jan. 29 | 8-10 p.m.
Harper Hall
This dynamic duo is composed of Larry Bellorín of Monagas, Venezuela, a legend of Llanera music, and Joe Troop, a Grammy-nominated bluegrass musician from North Carolina. The two fell into step together when the pandemic sent Troop back home to The Tarheel State after ten years in South America, the same state where Bellorín happened to end up as an asylum seeker. Their unique blend of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk on the harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, guitar, maracas, and whatever else fits in the van unites their own unique cultures and traditions while bringing music to the forefront of social movements.
General admission tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors. Students with a valid ID get in for free!
Mark your calendars and join us for low-key, 20-minute lunchtime tours of the current art exhibitions in the galleries. Relax and learn something new. Each tour is unique!
