The Omer Quartet will perform classical music Thursday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. in Phelps Stokes Chapel, at the Berea College Stephenson Memorial Concert Series.
The Omer Quartet is distinctive among today’s young string quartets. The quartet, which took first prize in the 2017 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, consists of Mason Yu and Erica Tursi (violinists), Jinsun Hong (viola) and Alex Cox (cello).
The Omer Quartet studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music and completed a graduate residency at the New England Conservatory. The Quartet is currently the Doctoral Fellowship String Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Maryland.
They have performed with internationally renowned artists such as Clive Greensmith, Eugene Brucker, Cho-Liang Lin, the Assad Brothers and the Borromeo String Quartet, and collaborated with composers including Sean Shephard and Perry Goldstein.
