ISIDORE QUARTET

Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, the New York Citybased Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory. The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of ‘approaching the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established.’

The members of the quartet are violinists Adrian Steele and Phoenix Avalon, violist Devin Moore, and cellist Joshua McClendon. The four began as an ensemble at the Juilliard School, and following a break during the global pandemic reconvened at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in the summer of 2021 under the tutelage of

Joel Krosnick. In addition to Mr. Krosnick, the ISQ has coached with Joseph Lin, Astrid Schween, Laurie Smukler, Joseph Kalichstein, Roger Tapping, Misha Amory, Timothy Eddy, Donald Weilerstein, Atar Arad, Robert McDonald, Christoph Richter, Miriam Fried, and Paul Biss.

Their Banff triumph brings extensive tours of North America and Europe, a two-year appointment as the Peak Fellowship Ensemblein-Residence at Southern Methodist University in Dallas beginning in 2023-24, performances at Haydn Hall in Eisenstadt (in spring 2023) and the Lucerne Festival, plus a two-week residency at Banff Centre including a professionally produced recording, along with extensive ongoing coaching, career guidance, and mentorship.

The Isidore Quartet has already collaborated with a number of eminent performers including Jeremy Denk and James Ehnes. Their 23/24 season will feature appearances in Berkeley (Cal Performances), Boston (Celebrity Series), Washington DC (Phillips Collection), New York (92nd St. Y), Chicago, Baltimore, Ann Arbor, Denver, Indianapolis, Tucson, Phoenix, Santa Fe, La Jolla, Aspen, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and at Dartmouth College, and Spivey Hall in Georgia, among many others. European highlights include Edinburgh, Lucerne, Brussels, Amsterdam, Hanover, Frankfurt, and Hamburg’s ElbPhilharmonie.

Outside the concert hall the quartet has worked with PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US providing encouragement, education, and healing to marginalized communities - including elderly, disabled, rehabilitating incarcerated and homeless populations - who otherwise have limited access to high-quality live music performance. They have also been resident ensemble for the Contemporary Alexander School/Alexander Alliance International. In conjunction with those well-versed in the world of Alexander Technique, as well as other performers, the ISQ explores the vast landscape of body awareness, mental preparation, and performance practice.

The name Isidore recognizes the ensemble’s musical connection to the Juilliard Quartet: one of that group’s early members was legendary violinist Isidore Cohen. Additionally, it acknowledges a shared affection for a certain libation - legend has it a Greek monk named Isidore concocted the first genuine vodka recipe for the Grand Duchy of Moscow!

PROGRAM NOTES

A definitive aspect of the human experience derives from significant moments of awareness, acknowledgement, and awakening. From the explorative adventures of childhood to the inquisitive expedition that is adulthood, the epiphanic nature of life drastically changes our perception of the world and its inhabitants. The Haydn, Childs, and Beethoven explore the various responses to notable moments of personal and compositional awakening in the lives of the individual composers.

String Quartet No. 25 in C major, Op. 20, No. 2

Joseph Haydn

The Awakening of the String Quartet Form

Though the Op. 33 string quartets exemplify a well-practiced and reliable compositional style, it is with the Op. 20 quartets that Haydn showcases his innovative prowess and exploration of the form of the string quartet. In this particular set of quartets, Haydn defines the true nature of the string quartet – the special interplay of instruments that Goethe refers to as “four rational people conversing.” Many of the compositional techniques

often utilized by composers today were workshopped and endeavored in the Op. 20 quartets.

“This cannot be overstated”, writes Ron Drummond; “the six string quartets of Opus 20 are as important in the history of music, and had as radically a transforming effect on the very field of musical possibility itself, as Beethoven’s Third Symphony would 33 years later.” Op. 20 No. 2 is a sunny, illuminating work that traverses a landscape reminiscent of the multi-faceted journey of life and evokes a familiar sense of human empathy and compassion.

String Quartet No. 2 “Awakening" Billy Childs

The Awakening of the Fragility of Life

Commissioned by the Ying Quartet, String Quartet No. 2 “Awakening” depicts Childs’ emotional, physical, and spiritual journey in dealing with his wife's serious illness and recovery. The first movement, titled Wake Up Call, opens with a tremolo/ trill in the second violin and viola, set against snap pizzicato in the cello, and a twelve-tone opening pronouncement in the first violin, expressing his initial shock at learning of her hospitalization. The White Room, the second movement, conveys the powerlessness and urgency he experienced waiting at her bedside through the use of a plaintive melody set against heartrending bi-tonal harmonies. The final movement, Song of Healing, is an ode to recovery and rediscovery, the viola's melody expressing the slow process of healing and a new respect for the transient and delicate nature of life. Childs, through a unique compositional style evocative of 21st-century multigenric perspective, acknowledges and expresses the familiarity of fear, anguish, and resolution regarding the fleeting nature of life, yielding a work that speaks to the human experience.

String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132

Ludwig van Beethoven

The Reawakening

A pillar in Western music, Beethoven’s astonishing String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132 can be understood by a single phrase: life encompassed. A man well-versed in the exemplification of trials and tribulations through composition, Beethoven, in his late period quartets, embarks on an exploration of gratitude, forgiveness, and thanksgiving that introduces an experienced maturity and empathetic familiarity to the works. His final five string quartets function not only as cathartic vessels, but as reflections on the multifaceted labyrinth of life.

Composed only two years before his death, Op. 132, a work with prevalent homage to J. S. Bach, confronts the nature of mortality (both in Beethoven’s personal life and in general) and arrives at a moment of reverent acknowledgement and gratitude for life. After a fervently searching first movement followed by a whimsically youthful second movement, Beethoven grounds the work with the profoundly transcendental “Heiliger Dankgesang.” An individual not known for supplementary text beyond tempo indication, the inclusion of the text “Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart,” which translates to “Song of Thanksgiving to the Deity from a convalescent in the Lydian mode,” in itself, is meaningful, let alone the content of the words. As the remaining two movements unfold, one is left with the everlasting presence of the emotional centerpiece that is the “Heiliger Dankgesang” and is welcomed into a space of self-reflection, acknowledgment of mortality, and a reawakening of what it means to be alive.
