\u201cI think the process of self-discovery is really just beginning. We called the project PORTRAITS as a reflection of the music we love and our growth at Curtis, but if there\u2019s something we\u2019ve realized over the last two years, it\u2019s that our portraits will be developing and growing even after we graduate.\u201d \u2014Hao Zhou, Viano Quartet<\/p>\n

As a final artistic statement of their time at the Curtis Institute of Music, the Viano Quartet, the Nina von Maltzahn String Quartet Program participants from 2021 to 2023, has released their debut recording, an exciting audiovisual project entitled PORTRAITS, through Curtis Studio, the recording label of the Curtis Institute of Music.<\/p>\n

PORTRAITS is available to stream on all major music platforms. Listen Now.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thoughtfully curated, created, and originated by the members of the quartet\u2014violinists Lucy Wang and Hao Zhou, violist Aiden Kane, and cellist Tate Zawadiuk, all 2023 Curtis graduates\u2014in collaboration with the school\u2019s cutting-edge Performance Innovation Lab, the recording offers an intimate view of the string quartet and invites listeners to join the four young artists on an intensely personal and emotional journey.<\/p>\n

On Apple Music Classical<\/a>, PORTRAITS includes companion video performances of each work, allowing viewers to witness the ensemble\u2019s energy and enthusiasm as they bring this music to life. Shot in close-up, each video offers an extraordinarily intimate cinematic experience for viewers, inviting the audience to join each artist on an intensely emotional journey. This unique playlist captures the heightened passion, dramatic depth, and richly hued sound palette of four iconic works from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.<\/p>\n

PORTRAITS includes two movements of Franz Schubert\u2019s String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D. 810 (\u201cDeath and the Maiden\u201d); Florence Price\u2019s Andante moderato from String Quartet No. 1 in G major; Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky\u2019s Andante cantabile from String Quartet No. 1 in D major, Op. 11; and the first movement of Alberto Ginastera\u2019s String Quartet No. 1, Op. 27, Allegro violento ed agitato. As the Viano Quartet reflects on its time at Curtis and concludes its residency to join the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\u2019s Bowers Program, this thoughtfully curated collection serves as a historical multimedia document of the ensemble\u2019s experience at the school and a fascinating \u201cportrait\u201d of one of the most sought-after contemporary quartets in classical music.<\/p>\n
