Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of chamber music at Caramoor on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at 3:00pm, featuring the talented Abeo Quartet. This event marks the beginning of their year-long residency as the 2023-24 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence. The performance will take place in the intimate setting of the Chamber Music Music Room, offering a perfect acoustic experience.

The Abeo Quartet, known for their dynamic performances and engaging interpretations, will present a program that includes masterpieces by Felix Mendelssohn and Ludwig van Beethoven, alongside the New York premiere of "The Little Things" by the young Iranian-American composer Kian Ravaei. This piece, inspired by Emily Dickinson's poetry and her keen observation of nature's subtle beauties, promises to be a highlight of the concert.

The quartet, formed at Juilliard in 2018, has quickly risen to prominence, winning numerous competitions and receiving critical acclaim worldwide. Their name, Abeo, an expression of joy in a Nigerian dialect, reflects their passion for chamber music and their commitment to sharing it with audiences everywhere.

The concert will feature Njioma Grevious and Rebecca Benjamin on violin, James Kang on viola, and Brian Gadbow on cello. Following the performance, attendees are invited to stay for a meet-and-greet with the artists, accompanied by light refreshments.

This event is free for those who are 18 and under, making it an excellent opportunity for young music enthusiasts to experience world-class chamber music. Don't miss the chance to witness the Abeo Quartet as they embark on their residency at Caramoor, sharing their joy and love for music with all who attend.
