Ariel Quartet & Orion Weiss
The Ariel Quartet got to know the brilliant young pianist Orion Weiss when they studied together as teenagers at the Perlman Music Program. They’re all now in their mid-30s, their careers have blossomed, and they’ve continued to collaborate regularly. In addition to offering the standard piano quintets from Dvorak, Brahms, and Schumann, they offer rarely heard masterpieces by Bloch, Korngold, and Dohnányi.
Ariel Quartet with Alisa Weilerstein
As part of its 20th anniversary season, the Ariel Quartet teams up with Alisa Weilerstein — the superstar cellist and their longtime friend and collaborator. The program will include a new cello quintet they are commissioning from the rising young composer Joseph Hallman, who has previously written works for Weilerstein.
Ariel Quartet | Beethoven Cycle
The Ariel Quartet first performed the Beethoven cycle in Cincinnati five years ago. Since then, they have gone to perform the complete cycle in Berlin and for Napa’s Music in the Vineyards Festival. The Ariel also presented a groundbreaking Beethoven cycle performed at New York’s SubCulture that featured a midnight performance of the Grosse Fuge.
