The illustrious Tesla Quartet will bring a stirring conclusion to this year’s Chamber Music Society of the Carolinas season. The quartet is set to perform at the Fine Arts Center in Greenville with a mesmerizing finale show entitled “A Night in Old Vienna”, scheduled for July 29.

An Encounter With Schubert

The evening plans to take audience members on a musical journey to 19th-century Austria.

This repertoire offers the audience an invitation into Schubert’s universe, where profound emotions intertwine with nuanced sophistication.

About The Tesla Quartet

Comprised of Ross Synder and Michelle Lie on violins, Edwin Kaplan on viola, and Austin Fisher on cello, the Tesla Quartet was formed in 2008 within the hallowed walls of The Juilliard School. The group has since gone on to collect a string of accolades and awards, thanks to their harmonious integration and masterful performances. Their performance will demonstrate the skillful blend of their individual talents, creating a harmonious sonic experience.

The Chamber Music Society of the Carolinas

The Tesla Quartet’s performance is part of an annual concert series organized by the Chamber Music Society of the Carolinas (CMS). Held at Greenville’s Fine Arts Center, these intimate performances showcase various classical pieces including works for violin, viola, cello, clarinet, and even accordion, making the most of the venue’s close quarters.

A Thriving Classical Music Scene

“Each week has its own appeal, and playing such a wide range of pieces and styles is what I love about chamber music,” expressed J Freivogel, the incoming director for the Chamber Music Society. Alongside his wife, Rachel, he intends to continue with the momentum generated by previous seasons, chiefly through diversifying the repertoire and expanding audience reach.

By offering classical music of this caliber in Greenville, the Chamber Music Society both cultivates and demonstrates the city’s growing enthusiasm for the genre. Freivogel highlighted the importance of these performances, stating, “We as performers and presenters feel the enthusiasm for great chamber music in Greenville.
