Black Oak Ensemble
*Sunday, January 28, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm 

“The players fully inhabit the spirit of whatever they are playing…, performing each (work) with as ardent a flame as if they had written it themselves.” Fanfare Magazine

The Black Oak Ensemble consists of violinist Desirée Ruhstadt, cellist David Cunliffe, and violist Aurélien Fort Pederzoli.

Currently in residence at the New Music School in Chicago, they concertize throughout Europe and North America.

A major current project, Silenced Voices, includes a recording and live concerts of string trios created by Jewish composers silenced by the Holocaust.
