The Ἔris Quartet
"I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free."
Bringing Rhythm to Chaos
The Ἔrιs Quartet, based in Oberlin, OH, was formed at the Oberlin Conservatory through the mentorship of Sibbi Bernhardsson, Tim Weiss, and the Verona Quartet. As advocates of new music in an ever-changing world of classical performance, The Ἔrιs Quartet works to produce and perform concerts that highlight classical canon landmarks, invite new multidisciplinary collaborations, and explore the unique sounds of today.
