The Vera Quartet, a dynamic ensemble that just performed as part of the Rockport Chamber Music Festival’s dramatic Opening Night, are returning. Winners of the 2018 Astral Artists National Auditions, the Vera Quartet is currently the String Quartet in Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music. The Quartet joins with pianist Meng-Chieh Liu (Curtis professor) to perform a program of Beethoven, Franck and a new work especially commissioned for this tour by David Hertzberg.
