Telegraph Quartet to Perform on February 7 at Saint Meinrad Archabbey

Saint Meinrad Archabbey Cultural Events will present a concert by the Telegraph Quartet on February 7, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. Central Time in the Archabbey Church. 

The concert will be performed by Eric Chin and Joseph Maile on violin, Pei-Ling Lin on viola, and Jeremiah Shaw on cello. The program will feature pieces by composers Rebecca Clarke, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Bedřich Smetana.

Now celebrating its 12th season together, the Telegraph Quartet formed in 2013 with an equal passion for the standard chamber music repertoire and contemporary, non-standard works. The Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. 

The Quartet has performed in concert halls, music festivals, and academic institutions across the United States and abroad, including New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Chamber Masters Series, and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute, Interlochen Arts Festival, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. The Quartet is currently the Quartet-in-Residence at the University of Michigan.

In August 2023, the Telegraph Quartet released its latest album Divergent Paths, the first in a series of recordings titled 20th Century Vantage Points, on Azica Records. Through this series, the Telegraph Quartet intends to explore string quartets of the 20th century—an era of music the group has felt especially called to perform.

The concert is free, open to the public, and no registration is required. Parking is available in the Guest House and student parking lots. For more information, contact Krista Hall during business hours at 812-357-6501. For updates on the day of the performance, call 812-357-6611.
