Isidore String Quartet

LIGETI: String Quartet No. 2TYSHAWN SOREY: Everything Changes, Nothing ChangesSCHUBERT: Quartet in A Minor, D. 804, Op. 29 “Rosamunde”. The Isidore Quartet skyrocketed to the heights of the music world since winning the Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Banff International String Quartet Competition, and their debut at DACAMERA in 2023. They return with a strikingly diverse program, juxtaposing Schubert’s quartet with twentieth and twenty-first century works. We begin with the Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti’s second quartet, where numerous musical lines weave together to create a dramatic soundscape. Pulitzer Prize-winner Tyshawn Sorey’s Everything Changes, Nothing Changes is a tour de force of subtle voicings, beautifully shifting harmonies, and pulsating string sounds. We close with Schubert’s deeply expressive “Rosamunde” Quartet, admired for its emotional directness and eloquent beauty.
