Fresh from their recent appearances at Carnegie Hall and the Chautauqua Institute, The Bayberry String Quartet is set to join Temple Israel’s Schmier Series for an unforgettable afternoon of music that promises to captivate and inspire. Featuring the remarkable talents of violinists Nurit Pacht and Steffani Kitayama, violist Gabe Bolkosky, and cellist Laura Usiskin, this dynamic ensemble is renowned for their artistry, passion, and ability to connect with audiences through every note they play.

Other recent concerts include performances at the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society’s CMS Kids, Ridotto Series, White Lake Chamber Music Festival, Chamber Music @ AEIVA, and Fairlane Music Guild, among others. Only in their sixth season, they have enjoyed residencies at the Chicago Suzuki Institute, STEP Birmingham Chamber Music Workshop, Peaks to Plains Institute in Colorado, and PhoenixPhest in Michigan. They have an innovative virtual presence through online collaboration and videos, including work with arranger Rami Vamos and drummer Pete Siers to perform “Frankenstein” by the Edgar Winter Group. BSQ also created a virtual chamber music approach in a program called PhoenixPhest Virtual where they coached student and professional groups across North America in a dozen online workshops. Through their individual and collaborative work, the four musicians have impacted the lives of thousands of musicians.
