Cabrini Shrine: The Cramer Quartet

The Cramer Quartet offers audiences a distinctive and inspiring concert experience that reframes the familiar while making space for discovery and innovation. Playing on period instruments, the quartet performs music through a historically informed lens, and champions new works that expand the expressive possibilities of gut strings and the string quartet canon.

Haydn: Dialogues is a multi-season project in which the Quartet performs all 68 of Haydn’s quartets alongside newly commissioned works by American composers, each written for period instruments. This season’s program, supported by Chamber Music America’s 2025 Artistic Projects Grant, features a new quartet by composer Juri Seo, a Korean-born American composer who seeks to write music that encompasses extreme contrast through compositions that are unified and fluid, yet complex.

Tickets are $20 general admission, $10 students and seniors.
