Balourdet String Quartet

Our new season opens with the brilliant young Balourdet String Quartet. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the quartet is currently in residence at the New England Conservatory's Professional String Quartet Program. They received the Grand Prize at the 2021 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition as well as the top prize awarded in the 2021 Premio Paolo Borciani in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The group also received the Gold Medal in the 2020 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and the Gold Medal and Audience Award at the 2021 Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition. 

Mirror Visions Ensemble

Featuring soprano, tenor, baritone and piano, MVE 's programs take audiences on an imaginative journey through song, showcasing well-known and often-neglected pieces by composers both familiar and new, set to texts by poets and historical figures that encompass published works, correspondence and other anecdotes. 

Vision Duo

A first for us, this violin and marimba duo features works by classical and contemporary composers and introduces multidisciplinary elements of modern performance. Ariel Horowitz and Britton - René Collins are recipients of the 2020 CAG Competition's Ambassador Prize, awarded to musicians who show an exceptional level of virtuosity and humanity in their interest in community engagement and bringing the voices of new composers to the forefront.

Merz Trio

To close our 41st season we are pleased to present the Merz Trio. Praised for their "fresh and surprising interpretations," the award-winning Merz Trio are known for their passionate, original playing. The Trio have made a sweep of recent US chamber awards, taking top prizes at the 2021 Naumburg, 2019 Concert Artists Guild, 2019 Fischoff, and 2018 Chesapeake Competitions.
