Kenney, Kozasa, Cabezas, and Mužijević

We are delighted to welcome the quartet collective Owls for their Tippet Rise debut. Each an artistic force in their own right, violinist Alexi Kenney, violist Ayane Kozasa, cellist Gabriel Cabezas, and cellist-composer Paul Wiancko share an uncommonly fierce creative spirit which drives the quartet to challenge the way meaningful concert experiences are conceived. Their performance begins with Wiancko’s Vox Petra, followed by the Baroque-period work – Les Barricades Mystérieuses (The Mysterious Barricades – by François Couperin, and a contemporary string quartet, Good Medicine, by Terry Riley. Tippet Rise’s artistic advisor and pianist Pedja Mužijević will join members of the quartet for Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major.
