Beyond NYC: Russian Renaissance Quartet at Caramoor in Katonah, NY
Billed as World Music with a Russian soul, the performance by Russian Renaissance Quartet guarantees an exciting night of diverse music from classical to jazz to folk; on Thursday, July 11, 2019 at 7 pm.
The refreshing sound of traditional Russian string instruments combined with a delicate and emotional touch makes the performances by Russian Renaissance Quartet memorable events. With a wide repertoire and formidable virtuosity, the group has established itself among string chamber collectives as one of the most exhilarating ensembles of today.
Since their debut in 2015, the group had won a number of prestigious competitions most significant of which is the M-Prize of $100,000 in 2016 hosted by the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theater, and Dance. The first prize in the M- Prize Competition is the highest award in the chamber music world. Russian Renaissance Quartet’s lyricism, age-defying energy and seamless shifts between genres make music accessible to audiences.
The quartet includes Ivan Kuznetsov, balalaika; Anastasia Zakharova, domra/domra alto; Aleksandr Tarasov, button-accordion; and Ivan Vinogradov, balalaika-contrabass. Russian Renaissance Quartet appearance at Caramoor is on Thursday, July 11, 2019 at 7 pm.
