Join us for an unforgettable evening as the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association presents the Ariel String Quartet in the final concert of the Chamber Music Series. This exceptional performance is scheduled for Sunday, April 7, 2024, at 3:00 PM, with a special pre-concert talk beginning at 2:30 PM. The event will take place at the First United Methodist Church of Oak Ridge, located at 1350 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, TN.

Celebrating 25 years since their formation as teenagers in Israel, the Ariel String Quartet has risen to international acclaim, now serving as the faculty quartet-in-residence at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music. The quartet, comprising violinists Alexandra Kazovsky and Gershon Gerchikov, cellist Amit Even-Tov, and violist Jan Grüning, has been honored with numerous prestigious awards, including the Cleveland Quartet Award and the Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition.

The evening's program, titled "American Dream," promises a theatrical experience with a unique twist: the second half of the concert remains purposefully unannounced. This creative choice serves as a musical metaphor, inviting the audience to engage with the performance free of expectations, unprejudiced, and with an open mind and heart, mirroring the way we aspire to see others and wish to be seen ourselves.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the Ariel String Quartet's profound musicality and innovative programming. Purchase your tickets now and prepare to be captivated by a concert that concludes the Chamber Music Series with a spectacular display of fireworks.
