The Hesper Quartet will be making their return to the Ebenezer Theater after winning a Silver Prize in the 11th Chesapeake Chamber Music Competition in 2024. The quartet formed in 2022 at the Emerson String Quartet Institute at Stony Brook University. The ensemble takes its name from Hesperus — the “evening star” and Greek mythological personification of Venus in the early night sky — embracing their roles as leaders and storytellers. The quartet will be joined by pianist Ying Li, First Prize winner of the 2021 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions, as well as recipient of The Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival Prize and the Tri-I Noon Recitals Prize.
