Newport Classical: Verona Quartet

Celebrated by The New York Times as an “outstanding ensemble… cohesive yet full of temperament,” the Verona Quartet has captivated audiences worldwide with their “sensational, powerhouse performance[s]” (Classical Voice America). Recipients of Chamber Music America’s esteemed Cleveland Quartet Award, the ensemble makes a much-anticipated Newport Classical debut with a program that traces a vivid stylistic arc. Beginning with Scarlatti’s graceful Baroque sonata and Augusta Read Thomas’s radiant Clara’s Ascent, the journey unfolds through Janáček’s searingly expressive Kreutzer Sonata before culminating in Beethoven’s noble Op. 127.

Newport Classical's Chamber Series takes place at Newport Classical Recital Hall in downtown Newport, known for its striking architecture and excellent acoustics. The Chamber Series reaffirms Newport Classical’s commitment to year-round classical music programming. Audiences are invited to enjoy performances by world-class classical musicians in a relaxed setting, with a complimentary glass of wine from Gold’s Wine and Spirits.
