Two string quartets – the Calidore Quartet and Abeo Quartet – unite to perform arguably the most resplendent piece of music ever written: Mendelssohn’s String Octet.

Emerald City Music: Quartets in Spotlight: The Calidore & The Abeo Quartet

South Puget Sound Community College

The Abeo Quartet joins our Fortas season as part of the Kennedy Center’s Green Shoots initiative, created last season by the late Joseph “Yossi” Kalichstein. Formed at Juilliard in 2018, the ensemble is the first graduate string quartet in residence at the University of Delaware, under the mentorship of Calidore String Quartet. The name Abeo (“ah-bey-oh”)—an expression of joy in a Nigerian dialect—was chosen to reflect the group’s love for playing chamber music and sharing it with others. Abeo Quartet returns to the REACH after previously performing with Yossi during the Kennedy Center’s REACH Opening Festival in 2019.

DCWS once again performs at the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, sharing the stage with world-renowned chamber music luminaries. 

Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival

The Overture Concerts feature International Program performers in collaboration with festival main-stage artists, providing a unique experience for audience members and musicians alike. This summer, International Program artists will perform across two concert programs side by side with violinists Bella Hristova, James Thompson, and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, violists Matthew Lipman and Paul Neubauer, cellist Mihai Marica, pianist Shai Wosner, and clarinetist Tommaso Lonquich.

This concert series functions as an “overture” to the future of chamber music: world-renowned festival artists share their knowledge, experience, and expertise with the burgeoning International Program musicians as they perform side by side. The artists collectively bridge the gap between the traditions of the past, the master performers of today, and the exciting musical possibilities of tomorrow. Please join us to experience the fruits of their collaboration and to witness a glimpse of the bright future of chamber music.
