April 16-18, 2021

Listening to the Verona Quartet in concert is like hearing a great storyteller. Their performances are bold, electrifying, and full of character. We’ve been watching their progress eagerly for several years, and we are delighted that they received the 2020 Cleveland Quartet Award from Chamber Music America. This honor recognizes them as a rising ensemble establishing a major career. Hear their compelling voices in this Tulsa debut!

Concert Highlight: Friday 

The spirit of this program is one of contemplation, which is appropriate for the premiere of Corey Dundee’s new work, commissioned by Chamber Music Tulsa to commemorate  the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The music of India-born Reena Esmail creates a meditative atmosphere with Hindustani influences. Iconic American composer Charles Ives evokes a revival service with themes based on hymn tunes and spirituals.
