The Arianna String Quartet travels to Brazil for the January 19 - February 1 Festival of Music in Santa Catarina (FEMUSC). The ASQ is delighted to return to this international festival where they lead an intensive string quartet program for eight young professional quartets from across South America, Mexico, and this year, a quartet from South Africa. The ASQ will perform several times during the course of the festival, with programs including works by Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Shostakovich, and Dutillieux. Collaborative works include Brahms Clarinet Quintet with Ovanir Buosi (Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra) and Dvorak Piano Quintet with Brazilian pianist and conductor, Ricardo Castro. The quartet will also perform two new works by Nancy Galbraith and Liduino Pitombeira with flutist Alberto Almarza (Carnegie Mellon University ). FEMUSC, with its faculty from the U.S., Europe and South America, serves over 800 young musicians and offers over 200 concerts in two weeks.

While in Brazil, the quartet will offer an interactive presentation via video-conference on January 24 at the Missouri Music Educators Association (MMEA) Conference.

Invited by the Oberlin Conservatory of Music for a chamber music residency, the ASQ will give master classes and a recital, February 26-27 at the David H. Stull Recital Hall.
