Aizuri Quartet 2015-16 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence

Our newest Quartet-in-Residence was introduced to us by way of two of its members, Ayane Kozasa and Karen Ouzounian, alumnae of our Evnin Rising Star program. Formed in 2012, the quartet is currently in residence at the Curtis Institute of Music and served as resident ensemble of the 2014 Ravinia Festival’s Stearns Music Institute. The Aizuri are committed to performing works throughout the string quartet literature, from the great standard works to innovative, experimental and genre-defying pieces.
