In 2023, the DIA will host Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival with performances by the Pelia and Hesper String Quartets with a program of works by Robert Schumann and Dmitri Shostakovich:
- SCHUMANN String Quartet No. 3 in A major, Op. 41, No. 3
- SHOSTAKOVICH Two Pieces for String Octet, Op. 11
- SHOSTAKOVICH String Quartet No. 15 in E-flat minor, Op. 144
The Pelia String Quartet was formed at the Emerson String Quartet Institute of Stony Brook University in 2019. The quartet received a special prize at the 2022 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, a bronze medal at the 2022 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and were winners of the 2022 Ackerman Chamber Music Competition. The Pelia Quartet served as the resident string quartet for the SUNY Artist Residency in 2020-2021.
The Hesper String Quartet is a Korean-American chamber ensemble that was formed as a student group at Stony Brook University in 2022. Since its formation, the quartet maintains an energetic balance of performing works by Beethoven, Schumann, and Haydn, while performing works by living composers such as Joan Tower.
The Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival began in 1992 as a joint effort between Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings and local religious institutions. Since then, the organization has brought some of the world’s most acclaimed chamber musicians to the city for a two-week Festival that occurs in venues across the metropolitan area.
