2020 - 2021 CONCERT SEASON
DOVER STRING QUARTETJoel Link, violin; Bryan Lee, violin; Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, viola; Camden Shaw, cello
Sunday, October 18, 2020
4:00 - 5:00pm
The Dover String Quartet was catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition, becoming one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. The New Yorker recently dubbed them “the young American string quartet of the moment,” and The Strad raved that the Quartet is “already pulling away from their peers with their exceptional interpretive maturity, tonal refinement and taut ensemble.” In 2013-14, the Quartet became the first ever Quartet-in-Residence for the venerated Curtis Institute of Music.
The Dover Quartet has performed hundreds of concerts throughout the United States, Canada, South America, and Europe. Highlights include concerts for the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C, Schneider Concerts in New York City, and Wigmore Hall in London. The Dover dazzled us the last time they performed for members and guests of the Westchester Chamber Music Society. We look forward to having them back this year.

THE YING QUARTETRobin Scott, violin Janet Ying, violin Phillip Ying, viola David Ying, cello
Sunday, December 6, 2020
4:00 - 5:00pm
The Ying Quartet occupies a position of unique prominence in the classical music world, combining electrifying performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music in today’s world. The Ying has established itself as an internationally celebrated ensemble playing the world’s most important concert halls, and their belief that concert music can be an integral part of community life has drawn the ensemble to take on unconventional projects and perform in diverse settings. Their much-heralded collaboration with the Turtle Island Quartet won a Grammy Award in 2005, and a collaboration with the Billy Childs Chamber Jazz Ensemble was nominated for a Grammy in 2010. The Ying Quartet’s Dim Sum features music by Chinese-American composers that merges the Western string quartet with the aural world of traditional Chinese music. The Ying maintains full-time faculty positions at The Eastman School of Music, where they are currently Quartet-in-Residence.
