The Fry Street Quartet transitions to Cadenza Artists: We are pleased to announce that the Fry Street Quartet is now represented by the management team at Cadenza Artists. All new booking inquiries will go through Cadenza while Jonathan Wentworth Associates will service the engagements contracted through March 2027. Congratulations to the quartet and to Cadenza! Praised as “a triumph of ensemble playing” by The New York Times and celebrated for a “blend of technical precision and scorching spontaneity” (The Strad), the Fry Street Quartet is a dynamic ensemble at the forefront of 21st-century chamber music. Performing works from the classical canon alongside bold new compositions, the FSQ is equally at home with Beethoven and Bartók as with Aida Shirazi, Gabriela Lena Frank, or Clarice Assad. Winners of the Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the quartet has captivated audiences across, Europe, Asia and the United States. The Quartet’s pioneering performance project Rising Tide: The Crossroads Project—a transdisciplinary collaboration with physicist Dr. Robert Davies— is a fusion of science, music, and storytelling has been featured by The New York Times, NPR’s All Things Considered, Yale Climate Connections, and Reuters.

Award-winning violinist Eunice Kim performed the 3rd violin concerto of Camille Saint-Saëns with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra this fall. The concerto is a beautiful Romantic work which Saint-Saëns dedicated to Pablo de Sarasate, and is turns dramatic, lyrical and triumphant. A favorite of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Eunice Kim has appeared with the SPCO in concertos of Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Piazzolla, Mozart, Bach and beyond, often leading from the violin. She has appeared widely as soloist in the U.S. and abroad, including with The Philadelphia Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, Boulder Philharmonic, Akron Symphony, New West Symphony, Pro Musica Columbus, Wheeling Symphony, Williamsburg Symphony, the Cabrillo Festival and the Seongnam Philharmonic.

Dalí Quartet transitions to General Arts Touring: The Dalí Quartet joins the General Arts Touring roster in collaboration with Jonathan Wentworth Associates. I am excited to work with Tom Gallant to create a smooth transition for the Dalí as the quartet starts this new chapter. I will continue my work with the Dalí through May 2026 after which all engagements will go through General Arts Touring. Meanwhile, following New England praise – “The Dali Quartet offered more than just technical brilliance or stylistic range on Sunday. They offered conviction, enthusiasm, and a visceral sense of purpose” writes The Berkshire Edge – travel beckoned for Chamber Music America’s 2024 Ensemble of the Year. Return engagements have just included New York’s Maverick Concerts, Colorado’s Off the Hook Arts and in Mexico the SA’OAXACA International Music Festival. The Dalí made debut performances in Vermont at the Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival, in Washington state at Icicle Creek Center for the Arts and opened the Hood College Summer Concert Series in Maryland. Bringing Latin music to an equal standing alongside the Classical and Romantic canon, the group also hosted the 22nd Annual Dali Quartet International Music Festival for eight days in July and August. A glimpse into 2026 shows the Dalí immersed in the Beethoven Quartet cycle at the University at Buffalo, a return to NYC for the Peggy Rockefeller Concerts (with clarinetist Ricardo Morales) and a return to the Banff International String Quartet Festival (this time live in person!). Link here to the Dalí Quartet’s latest CD, Voces Latinas (Centaur).

Sean Chen gets wired at MIT. Asked to participate in the MIT.nano Immersion Lab research into the biomechanics of piano playing, Sean was wired up for motion capture, accelerometers, ultrasound, and videos. The Immersion Lab is a platform to connect scientists and engineers with artists, musicians and performers. To allow the scientists to collect data on his biomechanics, he played through some of Rachmaninoff Concertos 2 and 3, the Tchaikovsky 1st, some Chopin Etudes and the Ligeti L’escalier du diable. Go Sean! “Sean Chen has the rare ability to combine poetic musical sensibilities and dazzling technical prowess” writes the LA Music Examiner about the Los Angeles native. In concert “he summoned massive, orchestral sonorities, yet he could also play with enormous delicacy. It was a muscular, impassioned performance… he is an artist with something to say” hails the Cincinnati Enquirer. And from the Washington Post: “Chen kept it all under tight control while giving an impression of unbridled freedom.” The virtuoso performer, composer and arranger is the winner of the American Pianists Association’s DeHaan Classical Fellowship, one of the most lucrative and significant prizes available to an American pianist. He is the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition’s Bronze Medalist and recipient of the $100,000 Leonore Annenberg Fellowship. Among his upcoming performances is an all-French program including his own arrangement of Dukas’ L’Apprenti sorcier (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) and the Franck Piano Quintet with the acclaimed Escher Quartet.

Christopher Taylor brings breathtaking experiences to the concert hall performing the Franz Liszt transcriptions of all the Beethoven 9 Symphonies. Individual works are available, as is the entire set. “What is remarkable is not that it makes the piano sound like an orchestra but that the reduction really sounds like piano music — on a grand scale, but pianistic nevertheless” writes the Boston Musical Intelligencer, which continues: “The way this version of a symphony that everyone knows and loves could best succeed is with dancelike lightness and momentum, and Taylor managed that feature completely, with unfailing and often effortless energy.”

Thirty-two newly commissioned short piano works are brought to the stage in performance alongside Beethoven’s cycle of 32 Piano Sonatas. The new works are commissioned from composers in 32 different countries, focusing primarily on countries of conflict and unrest where creative efforts often face insurmountable challenges.
