Isidore String Quartet

Chesapeake Music’s upcoming concert featuring the award-winning Isidore String Quartet performing at the Ebenezer Theater on Saturday, October 5. The concert is the second in the 2024-2025 series of Interlude Concerts.

The Isidore String Quartet, winners of the 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the 2022 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition, began as an ensemble at the Juilliard School in 2019 when their teachers recognized a certain magic about their unique sound. The quartet members are violinists Adrian Steele and Phoenix Avalon, violist Devin Moore, and cellist Joshua McClendon.

For Easton’s Interlude Concert, the quartet will perform the Mozart “Dissonance” Quartet, Bartok Quartet No. 2, and the Ravel Quartet. Award-winning violinist Phoenix Avalon explained that the quartet selected these three pieces because they wanted to, “explore the revolutionary sound worlds in the string quartet medium.” Avalon added that “the Mozart Quartet was truly groundbreaking for its time. The Bartok Quartet offers a folksy Hungarian experience, and the Ravel Quartet has an entirely different unique French sound filled with color and rhythm.”

Tickets for this moving musical experience on October 5 at the intimate and acoustically excellent Ebenezer Theater in Easton are $50. Chesapeake Music also offers discounted tickets for students and music educators, as well as a “buy-one-get-one” option for those who are new to Chesapeake Music and want to come with a friend.
