We’re coming to you LIVE from Brunswick, Maine, for a special concert presented by the Bowdoin International Music Festival, featuring the Miró Quartet and pianist Elinor Freer.
Formed in 1995, the Miró Quartet - comprised of violinists Daniel Ching, William Fedkenheuer, violists John Largess, and cellist Joshua Gindele - was awarded first prize at several national and international competitions including the Banff International String Quartet Competition and the Naumburg Chamber Music Competition. Deeply committed to music education, members of the Quartet have given master classes at universities and conservatories throughout the world, and since 2003 the Miró has served as the quartet-in-residence at the University of Texas at Austin Sarah and Ernest Butler School of Music. In 2005, the Quartet became the first ensemble ever to be awarded the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant.
The festival was founded in 1964 and engages exceptional students and enthusiastic audiences through world-class education and performances. Each summer, 250 students from more than 20 countries and nearly every state attend the festival to study with distinguished faculty and guest artists.
