The Frisson Ensemble is explosive! From New York City, the chamber ensemble features the best and brightest of classical music's rising stars drawn from many of the nation's major music schools including Juilliard, Curtis, and Yale. With its flexible grouping, Frisson is able to showcase a myriad of rarely-performed masterworks. An ensemble of six are touring the west coast and Redwood Arts is indeed lucky to have been able to book them.
The musicians in brief:
Jeremías Sergiani-Velázquez, violin
The Argentinean violinist was awarded First Prize at the Argentinean Hebrew Foundation Competition and two competitions at the New England Conservatory Honors Ensemble. He has performed with the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall and in Germany, as well as throughout the US and in Canada.
Caeli Smith, viola
Called "intense, precise, and full of personality" by OperaClick, Caeli has performed in venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the BBC Proms. A winner of the Juilliard concerto competition, Caeli appeared as a soloist with The Juilliard Orchestra in Alice Tully Hall.
