Program
Ligeti: String Quartet No. 2
Tyshawn Sorey: Everything Changes, Nothing Changes
Schubert: String Quintet, D. 596
Winners of the Banff International String Quartet Competition and 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Isidore String Quartet brings fresh insight and expressive intensity to the chamber repertoire.
They’re joined by their Juilliard classmate and fellow Avery Fisher honoree Sterling Elliott, a cellist whose star power and soulful artistry have earned international acclaim.
This probing program traces a path from Ligeti’s surging dissonances to Sorey’s taut, meditative soundscapes and culminates in Schubert’s luminous Cello Quintet – a masterpiece of emotional unity and complexity.
