Join us for an enchanting evening of chamber music under the stars at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, NY, on Thursday, June 27, 2024, at 7:00 PM. The Abeo Quartet, celebrated for their dynamic performances and international acclaim, will grace the Spanish Courtyard, presenting a diverse program that promises to captivate and inspire.

This special concert marks the culmination of the Abeo Quartet's year-long residency as the 2023/24 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence at Caramoor. The evening will feature the world premiere of a new string quartet by Jessica Mays, commissioned by Caramoor, alongside works by Joaquin Turina, Erwin Schulhoff, Rhiannon Giddens, and Sergei Prokofiev.

The Abeo Quartet, formed at Juilliard in 2018, consists of Njioma Grevious and Rebecca Benjamin on violins, James Kang on viola, and Mac Taback on cello. Their name, Abeo, an expression of joy in a Nigerian dialect, perfectly encapsulates their passion for chamber music and their dedication to sharing it with audiences around the world.

Howard Hanson explored two ancient hymns in counterpoint, while Florence Price used spirituals as inspiration, weaving them around into complex tapestries of sound.

You can feel the expansiveness of a cathedral in Adolphus Hailstork’s joyful Sonata da Chiesa.

And we offer three very different prayers: Carson Cooman’s meditative Prayer of St. Ambrose, Alan Hovhaness’s mystical Prayer of St. Gregory and Joaquin Turina’s fiery Prayer of the Bullfighter.
