AdaMa Quartet: Dances and Traditions Reimagined

AdaMa is a newly formed chamber music quartet that brings together a striking blend of strings and winds, four distinct personalities, and stylistic breadth like no other. As the first professional quartet of this instrumentation, this uncommon fusion of clarinet, bass clarinet, violin, and cello  allows AdaMa to push boundaries of sonic expression, merging styles and genres, and inspiring new works through targeted commissions and projects. With its evocative sound world and deeply rooted storytelling, AdaMa offers audiences a compelling new voice in the world of chamber music. This unique concert explores the layered histories, cultural expressions, and emotional resonances of the global Jewish music diaspora.
