Meet at JMOF-FIU for French Connection, a performance by the Amernet String Quartet with pianist William Ransom. French Connection follows the musical tradition passed from teacher to student: Saint-Saens – Faure – Ravel. Praised for their “intelligence” and “immensely satisfying” playing by The New York Times, the Amernet String Quartet has garnered recognition as one of today’s exceptional string quartets and are Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University in Miami. Their sound has been called “complex” but with an “old world flavor.” Strad Magazine described the Amernet as “…a group of exceptional technical ability.” The Amernet String Quartet’s current season includes tours throughout Europe and Latin America as well as the premieres of several new works for quartet and return engagements throughout the US and Israel. This event is presented by JMOF-FIU and the Herbert and Nicole Wertheim School of Music & Performing Arts.
