Young Star

It is rare for a young ensemble to win one of the most prestigious string quartet competitions just three years after its foundation. The Isidore Quartet won over the jury of the 14th Banff Competition in 2022. The young New York ensemble is characterised by its individual sound and extremely lively interpretations. The musicians benefit in particular from the Alexander Technique, which has an effect on the mental organisation of the concert through an expanded body awareness. It is rare to experience a young string quartet so relaxed, so deeply relaxed and at the same time so vital and mature. The young musicians present themselves to the Bonn audience with two heavyweight works by Mozart and Beethoven, complemented by a quartet by the American composer Billy Childs.
