Schumann Quartet

“The Schumann Quartet plays staggeringly well ... [and is] without doubt one of the very best formations among today’s abundance of quartets ... [The quartet impresses] with sparkling virtuosity and a willingness to astonish.” — Süddeutsche Zeitung

JACK Quartet

The members of JACK Quartet—champions of contemporary music and musicians of prodigious talent—return to play compositions by John Luther Adams and Elliott Carter.

Encanto

“Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert” will include all the music of the Academy Award-winning film, including iconic hits like “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” and “Surface Pressure,” all performed by a live band.

Brooklyn Rider

Brooklyn Rider rode into the universe of exceptional string quartets 20 years ago, bringing rock star energy to classical and contemporary music. The quartet’s “Temples of Resonance” program features four of Philip Glass’s sparkling works, including String Quartet No. 5.

Sean Mason Quartet

Sean Mason composes and performs highly melodic, wholly infectious music. Branford Marsalis, a jazz legend, has praised Sean’s musicality. His debut record, “The Southern Suite,” is a roadmap to his music—a map that should lead you to his Club Hancher performances.
