Isidore String Quartet
Works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Dinuk Wijeratne and Felix Mendelssohn – Teatime Classics
The Isidore String Quartet was founded in 2019 at New York City’s Juilliard School, and reunited in 2021 after a break due to the pandemic. In 2022 the young quartet won the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition, which took them on extended tours of North America and Europe. They are coming to Hamburg with works by Bach and Mendelssohn, as well as a piece by the contemporary Canadian composer Dinuk Wijeratne.
Culinary offerings before the concert
Enjoy the concert with the young talents even more – after savouring some refreshments beforehand. Head to the Brahms Foyer from 15:00 to 15:45 for coffee, tea and cake. Please note that the way from the Recital Hall to the Brahms Foyer is not accessible and that the number of seats is limited.
The Isidore String Quartet is not only active at competitions and on the concert platform: the four musicians also work in the social and holistic fields. They have participated in the project »Music Heals Us«, which aims to give disadvantaged groups of the population, among them rehabilitated prisoners and homeless people – access to quality live performances of music as a means of encouragement, education and healing. With the help of the Alexander technique, the quartet explores bodily awareness, mental preparation and performing practice, and has been Ensemble in Residence at the Contemporary Alexander School/Alexander Alliance International.
