FRED SHERRY STRING QUARTET Jennifer Frautschi, violin • Jesse Mills, violin
Richard O’Neill, viola
Fred Sherry, cello
The Fred Sherry String Quartet was founded to perform and record Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet Concerto. Fred Sherry recruited his younger colleagues to play this notoriously difficult piece because of their virtuosity and fearlessness in confronting the score. Jennifer Frautschi, winner of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, has appeared as soloist with Pierre Boulez and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Jesse Mills is an avid improviser and composer who crosses all musical boundaries in his widespread performing career. Richard O’Neill is a frequent performer at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and has toured extensively with Musicians from Marlboro. The quartet performed the Concerto with Robert Craft for the Stefan Wolpe Centenary.
