A World of Jewish Culture at Piccolo Spoleto
PS 24 - The Amernet String Quartet
with Michael Klotz, Misha Vitenson, Avi Nagin, and Jason Calloway
Sun, Jun 2 at 6pm
Praised for their “intelligence” and “immensely satisfying” playing by the New York Times, the Amernet String Quartet has garnered recognition as one of today’s exceptional string quartets and are Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University in Miami. Their sound has been called “complex” but with an “old world flavor.” Strad Magazine described the Amernet as “…a group of exceptional technical ability.” The Amernet’s performance schedule has taken the quartet across the Americas and to Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The Amernet actively advocates for neglected works of the past and aims to enliven the concert experience through its innovative programming, which features a focus on composers of the Jewish diaspora and ‘re-imaginations’ for quartet by composer Jeffery Briggs of the 32 piano sonatas of Beethoven. Performing members include Michael Klotz, Misha Vitenson, Avi Nagin, and Jason Calloway.
