The ASC is pleased to present the Paris-based Hermès Quartet, an internationally acclaimed foursome the The Washington Post says “will likely take their place among the top quartets of our time.” The members of the Quartet — violinists Omer Bouchez and Elise Liu, violist Yung-Hsin Chang, and cellist Anthony Kondo —met at the Lyon Conservatory and formed the ensemble in 2008. Since then, it has performed in some of the most prestigious European venues. The Quartet was the Winner of the 2012 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, and made its U.S. debuts to have reviews at the opening concerts of the Young Concert Artists Series at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, and at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater. In the U.S., the group has given recitals at the Lied Center of Kansas, the University of Georgia, and the Friends of Chamber Music in Texas. The Quartet currently holds the Helen F. Whitaker Chamber Music Chair of YCA and the Florence Gould Foundation Fellowship, and is the Artist in Residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Brussels.
