 sts**\n\nFormed in 2023\, the **Candide Quartet** consists of violinists *
 *Chili Ekman** and **Henry Rogers**\, cellist **Vanny Hu** and violist **A
 melia Krinke**.\n\nNow entering their third year as an ensemble\, the Cand
 ide Quartet is even more committed to exploring the chamber music repertoi
 re and gaining performing experience. Having a shared love for Voltaire’
 s Candide and its philosophies\, the group embodies the sentiments of appr
 eciation for the camaraderie and dedication that it feels are inherent in 
 both the novel and string quartet playing. The quartet's goal is to cultiv
 ate its repertoire and share the fruits of its  commitment with all its au
 diences.\n\nDuring the summer of 2024\, the Quartet was the Fellowship Str
 ing Quartet in Residence at Music in the Vineyards in Napa\, as well as Ma
 deline Island Chamber Music in Wisconsin. The quartet had the pleasure of 
 performing alongside faculty at both festivals\, and spent time coaching d
 eveloping high school string quartets. This summer\, the Quartet attended 
 Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival and the PRISMA Quartet Fellowship to 
 further engage with faculty as well as present back to the community. \n\n
 The Candide Quartet has been coached and mentored by many esteemed musicia
 ns including David Finckel\, Daniel Phillips\, Paul Neubauer\, Samuel Rhod
 es\, Robert Levin\, Eugene Drucker\, Nicholas Mann\, Joseph Lin\, Brian Ze
 ger and David Kim. They have also worked with the Miro\, American\, Calido
 re\, Harlem and the Pacifica Quartets\, among others. \n\nThe group active
 ly takes on performance opportunities and outreach events in New York City
  as well as around the country. The quartet has worked with the Dvorak Ame
 rican Heritage Association performing a concert honoring Czech composer Be
 drich Smetana’s 200th birthday\, and given presentations and talks about
  “The Brief Evolution of the String Quartet” at various Boys and Girls
  Clubs and retirement homes in Napa. In 2024\, the group held a week long 
 residency at the MacPhail center in Minneapolis\, working in musical educa
 tion and performing multiple full length recitals for the community.\n\nIn
  the past school year the Candide Quartet sought many professional engagem
 ents\, attending the Robert Mann String Quartet Seminar and the Calidore Q
 uartet Seminar at the University of Delaware. The quartet worked with Caro
 line Shaw to give the Juilliard premiere of her work Plan and Elevation at
  Juilliard’s inaugural Fall Festival\, and recently collaborated with Sh
 aw again for the first Juilliard at Zankel Hall concert where they perform
 ed Shaw’s Other Song alongside the composer.
