Ariel Quartet Concert Series Continues Oct. 25 at UC's CCM

After its stunning opening performance of the 2016-17 season in September, the Ariel Quartet returns to CCM in concert at

8 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 25,

in

Corbett Auditorium

with a program featuring  the works of Mozart, Shostakovich and Dvorák. Tickets are available through the

CCM Box Office

.

The Ariel Quartet is comprised of Alexandra Kazovsky, violin; Amit Even-Tov, cello; Gershon Gerchikov, violin; and Jan Grüning, viola. Grand Prize winners at the 2006 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and 2014 recipients of the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award, the Quartet was formed in Israel 16 years ago and now serves as CCM's distinguished string quartet-in-residence.

Cincinnati Enquirer

writer Janelle Gelfand said nearly every seat in CCM's Corbett Auditorium was filled for the Quartet's Sept. 6 opening concert and praised the "vibrant" performance.

"I loved the way these musicians traded phrases in Beethoven's Quartet No. 1 in F Major, Op. 18, No. 1,"

she wrote on her blog, Janelle's Notes

. "It was conversational, witty and vibrant. The Adagio was the picture of beautiful singing line and depth of feeling. The German word "himmlisch" (heavenly) came to mind."

Join us at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, in Corbett Auditorium as CCM's string quartet-in-residence presents works from powerhouse composers Mozart, Shostakovich and Dvorák.
