What an exhilarating afternoon of chamber music with the Verona Quartet—spanning four centuries, from Scarlatti’s brilliance to the visionary sound world of Philip Glass, the emotional intensity of Janáček’s “Kreutzer Sonata,” and the transcendent depth of Beethoven’s Op. 127. Forte is grateful to have brought this program to life with such incredible musicians and an engaged audience.

Acclaimed for its bold interpretive strength and electrifying performances, the Verona Quartet is the 2020 recipient of Chamber Music America’s prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award. The Quartet’s members represent four different nations, but their singular approach and unanimity of purpose in both musical and cultural cooperation have quickly earned the group a reputation as an “outstanding ensemble...cohesive yet full of temperament.” (The New York Times)
