HARLEM STRING QUARTET, praised for its "panache" by The New York Times, is "bringing a new attitude to classical music, one that is fresh, bracing and intelligent," says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The quartet’s mission is to advance diversity in classical music, engaging young and new audiences through the discovery and presentation of varied repertoire that includes works by minority composers.
Since its public debut in 2006 at Carnegie Hall, the New York-based Harlem Quartet has performed throughout the U.S., as well as in France, the U.K., Belgium, Panama, Canada, and in South Africa. In addition to performing on chamber music series around the world, The Harlem Quartet has collaborated with distinguished classical performers and jazz legends, and has appeared with renowned orchestras as individual solo artists.
Praised for her passion, precision, and nuance, Chinese pianist Fei-Fei Dong continues to build a reputation for her poetic interpretations, charming audiences in the U.S. and abroad.
