chiaraA String Quartet playing classical, Andean folk to Prince, to Beethoven and Bartok. The Chiara Quartet (Rebecca Fischer, Julie Yoon violin; Jonah Sirota, viola; Gregory Beaver, cello) has forged a new path for the string quartet medium. In the concert hall and in intimate galleries and clubs, the Chiara embraces a "no-holds-barred" approach (The Strad). The group presents exhilarating contemporary works-through their club tours and to a growing circle of newcomers and committed chamber music fans alike, while exploring more established repertoire with fresh ears. The Chiara Quartet has been praised for a range that encompasses "glowing warmth to hard-edged acerbity" (The New York Times), and for possessing a "potent collective force" (Strings Magazine).
"The Chiara String Quartet . . . grew up from the grass roots and represents a fresh voice for one of the world’s great musical traditions. This award-winning group of musicians all in their late 20s-blends new and traditional repertoire and old-fashioned stage appeal to win followers in a young generation largely untutored in the ways of European art music." -- The Journal Star"Achieving an unforced power through purity of tone and deft articulations seems to be as natural as breathing or opening a book to this young ensemble. Other musicians would kill for such shapely phrasing, the ends of which are nothing short of exquisite." -- National Public Radio
"Each young artist marries a nimble technique to eager-to-please intensity and unhackneyed joy. -- The Washington Post"The Chiara Quartet gave these works luminous performances..." -- New York Times
Don't miss the Chiara String Quartet live at Nighttown on Saturday, May 3rd.
