We are delighted to have the Cavani Quartet as artists in residence at PhoenixPhest this year! Please join us at this gala event to welcome them and hear their thoughts on the art of the string quartet.
“They may be the single most valuable role model for the classical chamber music field in our time, an inspiration to fellow musicians and audiences across the country.” —Detroit Chamber Music Society
“Together, these players make music with passionate conviction, as if their lives depended on interaction. Expressive intensity, shapely phrasing and ultra-sensitive attention to nuances have become Cavani hallmarks. . . . This powerful and poetic performance was an example of the special joy musicians exude when minds and instruments connect on the highest level.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer
“When you have a group that makes children enthusiastic about music in general, and string quartets in particular, they must be doing something right. The Cavanis are that kind of group. I have seen them in action and was very impressed. Hooray for the Cavani Quartet!” —Itzhak Perlman
