The ensemble will begin a three-year residency at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance from autumn 2024
The University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance (SMTD) has announced that the Telegraph Quartet will begin a three-year artist residency at SMTD in autumn 2024.
The members of the quartet – Eric Chin and Joseph Maile (violins), Pei-Ling Lin (viola), and Jeremiah Shaw (cello) – will coach student chamber music groups, conduct studio classes or seminars, and offer mentorship sessions to students interested in chamber music careers.
The quartet will also perform several times each year on campus during the residency and will have opportunities to explore collaborative performance-based projects with students and faculty across the school and the university.
’We are excited to begin our new role as the faculty quartet-in-residence at the University of Michigan and overjoyed to be calling Ann Arbor our new home!,’ said the quartet members in a statement. The quartet has most recently served on the chamber music faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as quartet-in-residence.
’We want to express our heartfelt thanks to our community in the Bay Area and at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music who have so deeply supported us these past ten years,’ the members shared. ’We look forward to creating connections between our first home and our next at the University of Michigan!’
The also quartet stated it was looking forward to working together and partnering with the Michigan faculty to create a nurturing experience for students within the university and the community abroad.
Formed in 2013, the Telegraph Quartet explores standard chamber music repertoire as well as contemporary, non-standard works. It has performed in concert halls and at music festivals and academic institutions throughout the US and internationally, and collaborated with notable musicians, including pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein, cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton, violinist Ian Swensen, and the St. Lawrence and Henschel Quartets.
The Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by numerous composers – including John Harbison, Richard Festinger, Robert Sirota, and Osvaldo Golijov – and has earned honours including the 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.
