Recipient of the Cleveland Quartet Award and the Grand Prize at the 2006 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the Ariel Quartet has garnered critical praise worldwide over the course of more than two decades. The quartet regularly collaborates with such eminent and rising musicians and ensembles as violist Roger Tapping, cellist Paul Katz, and the American, Pacifica, and Jerusalem String Quartets, as well as cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianists Jeremy Denk and Menahem Pressler. Joining them for this performance is pianist Orion Weiss, praised by the Washington Post for his “powerful technique and exceptional insight.” A winner of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Weiss has appeared with orchestras throughout North America, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and New York Philharmonic.
