The Enso String Quartet
Sunday, music lovers will have an opportunity to see a performance that has grabbed attention nationwide. With a 2010 Grammy nomination for “Best Chamber Music Performance,” the Ensō Quartet has become one of the country’s most exciting young ensembles. Shortly after the group’s inception at Yale University in 1999, Ensō had success at the Banff International String Quartet Competition and won the Concert Artists Guild International Competition, and has consistently received high praise for performances ever since.
The quartet’s debut recording was described by Strad Magazine as “an auspicious start to their recording career,” and was followed by the recent Grammy-nominated release of the quartets of Ginastera. MusicWeb International summed up this album as “playing of jaw-dropping prowess revealing masterpieces of the 20th century quartet literature … seek out this group – they are clearly bound for greatness.”
At the Sunday concert at 3 pm at St. George’s Church at 105 Grand Street in Newburgh, the quartet will play music of Haydn, Bartok and Dvorak. Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for students.
The performance is brought to you by the Newburgh Chamber Music Society. Learn more about the Chamber Music Society on its website.
