Cassatt Quartet with Emely Phelps, piano

February 12 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

A flyer for the Cassatt Quartet performance.

The Cassatt Quartet performs at Ohio University’s Glidden Hall as part of their 40th anniversary season, with a free concert featuring string quartets by Shostakovich and Dorothy Rudd Moore, along with Brahms’s Piano Quintet in F Minor, for which the quartet will be joined by pianist – and Ohio University piano faculty –  Emely Phelps.

Hailed for its “mighty rapport and relentless commitment,” the Cassatt String Quartet has performed throughout the world for four decades, with appearances at Alice Tully Hall and Weill Recital Hall; Tanglewood Music Center; the Kennedy Center; Théâtre des Champs-Élysées; Centro National de las Artes; Maeda Hall; and Beijing’s Central Conservatory.

Their 2024-2025 season includes a busy schedule of performances in the U.S. and internationally, including an Italian tour alongside guitarist Eliot Fisk; recording the great quartet Modes by Dorothy Rudd Moore, alongside other string quartets by Black American women; teaching residencies at major universities and conservatories; and, in proud Cassatt Quartet fashion, premieres of important commissions, including a piano quintet by Victoria Bond and a new work for string quartet by Joan Tower, to be premiered at Maverick Concerts in September 2025.

The members of the Cassatt Quartet are violinists Muneko Otani and Jennifer Leshnower; violist Emily Brandenburg; and cellist Gwen Krosnick. The Quartet is named for Mary Cassatt, the great 19th- and 20th-century painter who – in addition to being the only American to exhibit in Paris alongside the Impressionists – did devoted, lifelong work in support of women’s equality and right to vote.
