Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant, the New York City-based Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory. Their 2023 2024 season brings extensive tours of North America and Europe and a two-year appointment as the Peak Fellowship Ensemble-in-Residence at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
The quartet also works as a resident ensemble with PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US to provide encouragement, education, and healing to marginalized communities who may otherwise have limited access to high-quality live music performance.
This concert is generously sponsored by Bob and Lauren Bresnan.
