The Shirley and Michael K. Bach Memorial Concert
“...a gripping and often very subtle reading, setting ear-melting tenderness against seething passion with a deft and precise touch."
The Washington Post
A collaboration with the Stulberg International String Competition
The Ariel Quartet, known for its virtuosic and impassioned performances, has captivated audiences worldwide for over 25 years. Formed as teenagers, the Ariel Quartet is now Faculty Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music and recent recipient of Chamber Music America’s prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award.
Award-winning and deeply committed to education and collaboration, each member brings creative energy, culinary talents, and personal passion to their shared musical journey.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our originally scheduled performance with Anthony Ross & Timothy Lovelace had to be cancelled.
