Step into the world of musical innovation with the Renaissance Quartet, a dynamic ensemble led by violinists Randall Goosby and Jeremiah Blacklow, along with violist Jameel Martin and cellist Daniel Hass. Graduates of the prestigious Juilliard School and mentored by the legendary Itzhak Perlman, these four virtuosos blend classical mastery with contemporary flair. Rooted in tradition yet boldly embracing the spirit of the 21st century, their performance is a journey through diverse musical landscapes, infused with jazz influences and remarkable technical prowess.
Program
Mendelssohn: Quartet No. 1 in E flat, Op. 12
