Ariel Quartet

Formed when the musicians were just teenagers, the Ariel Quartet is now entering their 26th season with recent highlights including a sold-out Carnegie Hall debut and the release of a Brahms and Bartók album. This special program called “Ancestral Voices” will include Matan Porat’s Four Ladino Songs, Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 “Death and the Maiden,” and a world premiere by local composer Dr. Ching-chu Hu commissioned by longtime Chamber Music Columbus supporters Richard and Yvonne Burry. Cellist Amit Even-Tov performs on the cello that Yvonne Burry’s mother, Margot, brought with her when she escaped Nazi Germany, surviving the Holocaust.
