The Green Room Ensemble is thrilled to present the US Premiere performance cycle of Eleanor Alberga’s Three String Quartets, along with the World Premiere of her Piano Quartet No. 2 “Stark” with the composer herself at the piano, joined by Thomas Bowes and Nathan Meltzer, violins; Jordan Bak, viola; and Sterling Elliott, cello.
The Green Room Ensemble is a performance organization dedicated to expanding and enriching the landscape of classical chamber music. Comprised of a rotating roster of around a dozen musicians, the Green Room Ensemble performs a wide range of music, with emphasis on new music and historically unexplored or neglected works by composers from a variety of backgrounds and heritages.
The Green Room Ensemble draws values from the two components of its name. A “green room” is traditionally a space where performers can relax before going on stage - a setting that celebrates shared humanity, personal connection, and the artistic process. It is a place where artists can freely express their true selves, experiment with their craft, and engage with colleagues and audiences alike. It is the space that exemplifies the context around the art. This atmosphere is what the Green Room Ensemble strives to create for both its musicians and its audiences. The term “Ensemble” further reflects our commitment to connection and collaboration. While each concert will feature different members from our roster, together we form a unified group with shared musical goals and ideals, all while emphasizing the interpersonal joys of collaboration.
