Internationally Acclaimed Ying Quartet presented by the Westchester Chamber Music Society

The Westchester Chamber Music Society is thrilled to open the 2018-2019 season with a performance by:

THE YING QUARTET
Robin Scott, violin    Janet Ying, violin    Phillip Ying, viola   David Ying, cello

The Program for Sunday, October 14 will include the Beethoven “Razumovsky” Quartet, Opus 59, No. 3 in C-major and the Tchaikovsky Quartet No. 3 in E♭ minor.

The Ying Quartet occupies a position of unique prominence in the classical music world, combining electrifying performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music in today’s world.  Now in its second decade as a quartet, the Ying has established itself as an internationally celebrated ensemble playing the world’s most important concert halls; and their belief that concert music can be an integral part of community life has drawn the ensemble to take on unconventional projects and perform in diverse settings. Their much-heralded collaboration with the Turtle Island Quartet won a Grammy Award in 2005, and a collaboration with the Billy Childs Chamber Jazz Ensemble was nominated for a Grammy in 2010.  The Ying Quartet’s Dim Sum features music by Chinese-American composers that merges the Western string quartet with the aural world of traditional Chinese music.  The Ying maintains full-time faculty positions at The Eastman School of Music, where they are currently Quartet-in-Residence.
