Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of chamber music at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, NY, on Sunday, May 5, 2024, at 3:00 PM. The Abeo Quartet, the 2023-24 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence, will grace the stage in the intimate setting of the Music Room, presenting a program that spans the breadth of the string quartet repertoire.

The concert will feature an exquisite selection of works by late-Romantic Russian composers Alexander Glazunov and Dmitri Shostakovich, alongside contemporary composer Reena Esmail, who bridges the worlds of Indian and Western classical music. The highlight of the afternoon will be Franz Schubert’s "Death and the Maiden," a masterpiece that showcases Schubert’s emotional depth and melodic genius.

The Abeo Quartet, formed at Juilliard in 2018, has quickly risen to prominence, earning accolades for their dynamic performances and deep musical insights. The quartet comprises violinists Njioma Grevious and Rebecca Benjamin, violist James Kang, and cellist Mac Taback, each bringing their unique talents to create a cohesive and compelling ensemble sound.

This performance is part of the Abeo Quartet's yearlong residency at Caramoor, which includes outreach and performances designed to engage audiences of all ages. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the artistry of the Abeo Quartet in the beautiful surroundings of Caramoor.
