Tue 7/3 @7:30PM
This summer, the Arianna Quartet is the ensemble-in-residence at Credo Summer Music Festival, a training program for music students ages 13-23 based at the Oberlin Conservatory.
In its more than 25 years together, the string ensemble has toured the world many times and made numerous recordings. It currently serves on faculty at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, as ensemble-in-residence at St. Louis’s Touhill Performing Arts Center, and as director of its own Arianna Chamber Music Festival in St. Louis. For the three weeks of the Credo festival in Oberlin, they’re coaching students in chamber music and professional development.
But the general public has the opportunity to enjoy this world-class ensemble while they’re in town. They’ll be performing a concert at Oberlin’s Kulas Recital Hall. The program includes Dmitri Shostakovich’s Quartet No.1; Kim Portnoy “Blues for Anton”; Bela Bartok’s Quartet No. 2 and Brahms String Quintet in F Major, for which they’ll be joined by Oberlin Conservatory viola professor and head of the string department Peter Slowik.
General admission is $10; students and senior are $5. Tickets are available at the door.
