Praised by LA Opus for their “seemingly effortless precision and blend”, the Zelter String Quartet formed in Los Angeles in 2018. The quartet is comprised of violinists Kyle Gilner and Gallia Kastner, violist Nao Kubota, and cellist Allan Hon. The quartet has worked with several distinguished artists including Lina Bahn, Joseph Lin, Alasdair Tait, Glenn Dicterow, Karen Dreyfus, and Ralph Kirshbaum, as well as members of the St. Lawrence and Danish String Quartets. In August 2021, the quartet will be participating in the Rencontres Franco-Américaines de Musique de Chambre, as winners of the USC Ofiesh Chamber Music Competition.
This special event will feature performances of Haydn’s C-major String Quartet (op. 20, no.2) and Beethoven’s E-minor String Quartet (op. 59, no. 2), along with short readings (with actors Joanna Cassidy and Kathe Mazur) from Ruskin’s works and a special US musical premiere.
