Chiara Quartet selected as artists in residence
The UNL School of Music has announced the hiring of the Chiara String Quartet as artists-in-residence for a three-year stint, beginning in August. Chiara [key-ARE-uh] is an Italian word, meaning clear, pure, or light.
"UNL is delighted with the extraordinary opportunity to have the Chiara String Quartet in residence on our campus," said Barbara Couture, senior vice chancellor for academic affairs. "We know that their dynamic contributions to contemporary classical art music will inspire our students and faculty. This is a premier opportunity for UNL students and all Nebraskans to enjoy the finest in live classical musical performance. It will be a wonderful three years."
The Chiara String Quartet (Rebecca Fischer and Julie Yoon, violins; Jonah Sirota, viola; and Gregory Beaver, cello) currently occupies the Lisa Arnhold Residency in the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. They were the Meadowlark Chamber Music Festival's artists-in-residence last summer in collaboration with the School of Music's Chamber Music Institute.
John Richmond, professor and director of the School of Music, says this opportunity will bring UNL to a new level of prominence and visibility in the worlds of chamber music, string performance, and orchestral music.
The Chiara String Quartet's assignment in the School of Music will include teaching and coaching graduate students and experienced undergraduate students in the area of chamber music, along with their continued performance schedule statewide, nationally, and internationally.
