Watermark Art Center welcomes the Lakes Area Music Festival’s 2023 Resident Ensemble: “Thalea String Quartet” on Sunday, July 9, from 7:30 PM – 9 PM. Music by Ludwig van Beethoven alongside eclectic works of Canadian Inuit, South Asia, and Latin American influences.
The Thalea String Quartet brings their signature vibrancy and emotional commitment to dynamic performances that reflect the past, present, and the future of the string quartet repertoire while celebrating diverse musical traditions from around the world. Fueled by the belief that chamber music is a powerful force for building community and human connection, the Thalea String Quartet has performed across North America, Europe, and China, and has appeared at the Kennedy Center, Massey Hall, and Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall. Winners of the 2021 Ann Divine Educator Award from the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the members of the Thalea String Quartet have been celebrated for their innovative approach to education and community engagement. They were top prize winners at the 2018 Fischoff Competition and 2018 Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition. The Thalea String Quartet is the Doctoral Fellowship String Quartet at the University of Maryland.
