New York Philharmonic String Quartet with Anne-Marie McDermott, piano

Formed two years ago during the New York Philharmonic’s 175th season by four of the orchestra’s principal musicians — concertmaster Frank Huang, principal associate concertmaster Sheryl Staples, principal viola (and U-M alumna) Cynthia Phelps, and principal cello Carter Brey — the New York Philharmonic String Quartet makes its UMS debut. Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott joins the ensemble for Dvořák’s second piano quintet, which was first performed on a UMS concert in 1893, just five years after it was composed.
