Known for their passionate and vibrant performances, The Verona Quartet will be visiting Telluride for the first time on September 7 to perform a concert at the Michael D. Palm Theatre, presented by Telluride Chamber Music and Palm Arts. The concert rounds out featured events for both organizations and will be a fitting flourish to finish the summer season.
The ensemble’s “vibrant, intelligent” (The New York Times) performances emanate from the spirit of storytelling: the Quartet believes that this transcends genre and therefore the name “Verona” pays tribute to William Shakespeare, one of the greatest storytellers of all time.
Story-telling is certainly part of the program for the evening, which touches different genres and eras and includes music by jazz composers Duke Ellington and Gershwin, alongside classical favorites Ravel and Shostakovich.
Following the concert, the quartet will be inspiring the young listeners in the Telluride community with an educational workshop on Monday September 8 for Telluride Schools.
Acclaimed as an “outstanding ensemble…cohesive yet full of temperament” (The New York Times), the Verona Quartet has firmly established itself amongst the most distinguished ensembles on the chamber music scene today. The group has appeared across four continents, captivating audiences at venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center (New York City); Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.); Jordan Hall (Boston); Wigmore Hall (U.K.); and Melbourne Recital Hall (Australia).
Continuing in the lineage of their esteemed mentors the Cleveland, Juilliard and Pacifica Quartets, the Verona Quartet’s rapid rise to international prominence was fueled by top prize wins at the Wigmore Hall, Melbourne, M-Prize and Osaka International Chamber Music Competitions, as well as the coveted 2020 Cleveland Quartet Award and the 2015 Concert Artists Guild Competition.
