The Ἔris Quartet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free."

 

Bringing Rhythm to Chaos

The Ἔrιs Quartet, based in Oberlin OH, formed in 2022 at the Oberlin Conservatory Advanced String Quartet Seminar. They have been mentored by Sibbi Bernhardsson of the Pacifica Quartet, Kirsten Docter of the Cavanni Quartet, and members of the Verona Quartet. As advocates of new music in the growing classical world, The Ἔrιs Quartet will be touring a new program: "Paintings, Songs, and Dances" during the Spring 2023 season. This tour starts in their home of Ohio, with performances in Cleveland, Grafton Prison, Downtown Oberlin, and Lorain County Hospitals, and then will continue throughout a larger East Coast tour through Pittsburgh, New York City, Philadelphia, and DC.
