The Dover Quartet

Catapulted to prominence after sweeping the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition, the group has become a major presence on the international scene. With its burnished warmth, incisive rhythms, and natural phrasing, the Quartet’s distinctive sound has helped confirm its status as “the young American string quartet of the moment” (New Yorker).

 

Daniela Mack

Mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack debuts this season at the Metropolitan Opera and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.  She has been acclaimed for her “caramel timbre, flickering vibrato, and crisp articulation” (Opernwelt) as she “hurls fast notes like a Teresa Berganza or a Frederica von Stade” (San Francisco Chronicle). Ms. Mack was recently a finalist in the 2013 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition.  Future seasons will see her at San Francisco Opera, Seattle Opera, Washington National Opera, Opera Philadelphia, and English National Opera.

Austrian wine will be provided by Aries Wine and Spirits in White Plains, NY.
