Tomorrow evening, the Ariel Quartet opens our 2012-13 series of major events with its CCM debut.
In the latest installment of WVXU’s “Around Cincinnati,” Anne Arenstein speaks with Quartet members Amit Even-Tov and Jan Grüning about the concert, the Quartet’s 10th anniversary together and their new quartet-in-residence status at CCM.

Earlier this month, a string quartet of teenagers from Cincinnati’s Starling Program (Jenny Lee and Billy Fang, violins; Demi Fang, viola; Josh Halpern, cello; and 13-year old violin virtuoso Isabella Geis) traveled to Salzburg, Austria. They played a concert at the University Mozarteum in Salzburg on April 10 with young pianists from Salzburg: 11 year old Marie Decker, and adjunct faculty member Johannes Wilhelm. The program included a piano concerto by Haydn, virtuoso works for violin and for piano, Dvorak’s American String Quartet, as well as Dvorak’s entire piano quintet. The identical program had been performed on March 7 in CCM’s Robert J. Werner Recital Hall.
CCM’s Starling Program and the Leopold Mozart Academy of the University Mozarteum plan to continue this transatlantic collaboration of their young artists.
