The Whitman String Quartet returns to South Country Library to present a concert of classical music.
The Whitman String Quartet was founded at Stony Brook University in 2015 and has been performing professionally throughout Long Island since. The ensemble participated in the first class of the Emerson String Quartet Institute, studying standard classical and twentieth century repertoire in coaching and masterclass formats with all five recent members of the acclaimed Emerson String Quartet. The Whitman String Quartet also performs more contemporary and lesser known works for string quartet, string trio, and with colleagues in other instrumentations. In 2024, founding members Dr. Joenne Dumistrascu and Dr. Stephen Gorgone welcomed local professionals Olga Turkina (violin) and Craig Mehler (cello) to the quartet.
