Overview

Sunday April 11, 2021 @ 3:00pm – April 13

Formed in 2014 at the Zephyr International Chamber Music Festival in Courmayeur, Italy, the Thalea String Quartet has been praised for their “vibrant performance” and “sincere expressivity” (SF Classical Voice). Alumni of Caramoor’s Ernst Steifel Quartet-in-Residence 2019-20 season, the Thalea Quartet returns to present a uniquely diverse program featuring works by four composers of today, including a Caramoor-commissioned world premiere.

Preceding the concert, on March 28, Paola Prestini joins renowned London-based author Sonu Shamdasani (who edited the first publication of Carl Jung’s major work: Liber Novus, The Red Book) to discuss the inspirations behind her new quartet.

Immediately following the concert, there will be a Q&A with the Thalea String Quartet and composer Paola Prestini, with an opportunity for the audience at home to ask questions; moderated by Caramoor’s Artistic Director, Kathy Schuman.

“Thalea never failed to deliver a stirring performance…”

– Calgary Herald

“Just when I thought our society was falling apart, along came the Thalea Quartet’s vivid, expansive performances! Their beautifully textured sound is enveloped by thrilling individual brilliance and highlighted by a rare, magnetic quartet sense emanating from every note they play. Hearing them makes me feel very happy and gives me hope for the future. They are great ambassadors for music.

— David Harrington, Kronos Quartet
