As string quartets go, the Verona Quartet is relatively young, having been founded in 2013 at Indiana University’s famous music school. The members of the now internationally celebrated ensemble have studied and taught at a variety of top music schools, and they are current on the faculty sat Oberlin College and Conservatory where they are the quartet in residence. With Oberlin as its base, their touring career has taken them all over the globe where they perform both classic and modern as well as music they’ve commissioned from contemporary composers. The ensemble features Jonathan Ong and Dorothy Ro on violins, Abigail Rojanksy on viola and Jonathan Dormand on cello.

They perform in their own backyard as well, where they can drive to a performance and sleep in their own beds that night. They kicked off the Rocky River Chamber Music Society’s 2015-2016 series, and now they’ll be performing for the Cleveland Chamber Music Society at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Gartner Auditorium.

That program will include Alessandro Scarlatti’s Sonata a Quattre No. 4 (1720) Philip Glass’s String Quartet No. 2 (“Company’), Leoš Janáček’s String Quartet No. 1 (“The Kreutzer Sonata”) and Antonín Dvořák’s Quintet or Piano and Strings in A major, Op. 81. On the latter piece, they’ll be joined by Israeli pianist Yaron Kohlberg, artistic director of the Cleveland International Piano Competition which he won in 2007.
