ST. BONAVENTURE – The Verona String Quartet will play works by Haydn, Ravel and Shostakovich in a performance at 7:30 p.m. Friday at St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts.

It is the second concert of the 2016-17 Friends of Good Music performance season.

The Verona Quartet – Jonathan Ong and Dorothy Ro on violin, Abigail Rojansky on viola and Warren Hagerty, cellist – are described by clevelandclassical.com as “thoughtful, impressive musicians.” A winner of the 2015 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition, Verona is the Graduate Resident String Quartet at The Juilliard School, where the musicians work closely with members of the Juilliard String Quartet and teach as Lisa Arnhold Fellows. The Juilliard School presented the Quartet’s Lincoln Center debut at Alice Tully Hall in May.

The Verona Quartet has performed across four continents in venues such as Wigmore Hall (London), Izumi Hall (Osaka, Japan), the National Theatre (Abu Dhabi, UAE), the Melbourne Recital Hall (Melbourne, Australia) and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. They have also appeared on National Public Radio, The Weekly Special on PBS, and Abu Dhabi Classical FM.

The quartet’s members hail from the U.S., Canada and Singapore, and hold degrees from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music and Eastman School of Music.

Originally known as the Wasmuth Quartet, Verona was the inaugural Graduate Quartet-in-Residence at Indiana University, where they were mentored chiefly by the Pacifica Quartet, Alexander Kerr, Atar Arad and Eric Kim. Verona has collaborated with artists such as Pedja Muzijevic and Jean-Michel Fonteneau, and has worked with members of the Alban Berg, American, Brentano, Cavani, Cleveland, Emerson, Fine Arts, Guarneri, Miami, Tokyo, Vermeer and London Haydn quartets.
