Carnegie Hill Concerts Presents The Abeo Quartet

Death and the Maiden (Schubert)

String Quartet “Ragamala” (Reena Esmail)

The Abeo Quartet, formed at Juilliard in 2018, was the inaugural Graduate String Quartet in Residence at the University of Delaware mentored by the Calidore String Quartet from 2021-2023. Recently, Abeo won Third Prize at the 2023 Bad Tölz International String Quartet Competition and competed in the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition. The quartet was also a First and Audience Prize winner in the Yellow Springs Chamber Music Competition and silver medal winner of the 2019 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition.

This past season included a return performance at the Kennedy Center; performances at the Princeton Festival, Emerald City Music in Seattle, Washington, and Sunday@Central in Columbus, Ohio. Abeo completed a residency at Avaloch Farm Music Institute in New Hampshire, as well as an exciting year-long residency as the Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts. The Quartet capped off the summer with appearances at Caroga Lake Chamber Music Collective and La Jolla SummerFest.

Upcoming highlights include performances at the PMP Suncoast Residency in Sarasota, Florida, Music Middays run by Serena Canin of the Brentano Quartet, and a return to Bad Tölz in Germany to perform in the Thomas Mann Festival in May.

Abeo (ah - bey - oh), an expression of joy in a Nigerian dialect, reflects the group’s love for playing and sharing music with others.
