Omer Quartet: 2018-19 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence

The Omer Quartet returns for their final performance capping its yearlong residency which included classroom-based instruction and performance clinics in Caramoor’s educational outreach program, as well as concerts in Caramoor’s fall and spring seasons. First Prize Winner in the 2017 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, the Omer presents the World Premiere of a Caramoor- commissioned quartet by Gabriella Smith, whose work has recently been performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov’ Yiddishbuk, and Brahms’s lighthearted and cheerful Third String Quartet.
