Yves DharamrajA weeklong residency in Chattanooga will give the Decoda Cello Quartet chances to showcase the performers’ fun and formal sides.
The four visiting musicians – Hamilton Berry, Claire Bryant, Caitlin Sullivan and Yves Dharamraj – have two concerts on their agenda as part of the String Theory chamber music series, as well as educational workshops and interactive performances with students.
The cello quartet is part of the larger Decoda, a New York-based chamber collective of 30 young classical musicians regarded as some of the brightest talents of their generation.
According to press material, Decoda became Carnegie Hall’s first affiliate ensemble after collaborating as fellows in Ensemble ACJW, a two-year artist training program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School and the Weill Music Institute.
