Charles Wadsworth's career as a pianist, artistic director and musical director
is legendary. Honored by cities, states and nations where he is widely
acclaimed, he has done more than anyone to promote the many beauties of
the chamber music repertoire. Next season will be very special, as he will
be celebrating his 80th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his association
with the Spoleto Music Festival.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Edward Arron made his New York
recital debut in 2000 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has
been acclaimed as a recitalist, a soloist with orchestra and as a
chamber musician throughout the United States, Europe and the
Far East. The 2007-2008 season marks Mr. Arron's fifth year as
the artistic coordinator of the Metropolitan Museum Artists in
Concert Series, and his first as Associate Artistic Director of the
Charles Wadsworth Concerts.
The The Miró Quartet was formed in 1995, and quickly won three important
competitions in the United States. In 1998 it took first prize in the Banff
Friends of Music International String Quartet Competition, and it won the
Naumberg Chamber Music Award in 2000. It is the first ensemble
to be awarded the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant. The Miró
Quartet is named for Joan Miró, the famed Spanish surrealist
artist of the 20th century.
