Lírios Quartet Residency
We welcome the Lírios Quartet as our 2023 Emerging Artist Quartet in Residence! Formed in 2022 at the University of Colorado Boulder, the Lírios Quartet comprises four emerging artists who have come together under the mentorship of the Takács Quartet.
“To me, music is like food. It nourishes me. I need to have at least 5 meals a day. I’m a musician because I really like to ‘eat’. Teaching comes naturally to me because sharing food, I mean music, brings me tremendous joy. Seeing the lightbulbs sparkle in my students’ eyes makes teaching extremely enjoyable. My students learn a lot about music through laughter, in my opinion, it’s the best way to learn!”
Chi-Chi Bestmann, MacPhail String Teaching Artist
