Renaissance Quartet with Randall Goosby
New York’s Renaissance Quartet is making waves: here they perform string quartets by Brahms and Price, plus a vivid new work by cellist Daniel Hass.
Founded in 2021 by violinists Randall Goosby and Jeremiah Blacklow, violist Jameel Martin and cellist Daniel Hass, the Renaissance Quartet is already known for its welcoming mix of communicative engagement and technical finesse.
The performers are all graduates of the Juilliard School, New York, led by Goosby, a one-time protégé of the great Itzhak Perlman.
They open with Price’s little-heard First String Quartet, followed by the European premiere of the String Quartet No.1, Love and Levity, by their own cellist, Daniel Hass.
Rooted in classical tradition but bounding off in 21st-century directions very much its own, throwing jazziness and considerable virtuosity into the mix, its four movements demonstrate Hass’ journey through his diverse musical background.
The concert concludes with Brahms’ much-loved String Quartet in A minor.
