Recent winners of the Cleveland Quartet Award, the Verona Quartet returns to Caramoor for the first time since their Ernst Stiefel residency in 2017-18. This now-established string quartet’s energy and vibrancy have earned them a reputation as an “outstanding ensemble … cohesive yet full of temperament.” (The New York Times). Their program includes works by Puccini, Beethoven, and a quintet by 20th-century Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz with pianist David Fung.
