Owls Quartet to Perform at Aibel Memorial Concert at Fairfield U on Nov. 3
Experience the Owls chamber quartet’s transformative performance, blending tradition and innovation
Fairfield University’s Regina A Quick Center for the Arts is honored to welcome the chamber string quartet, Owls as part of the Howard and Katherine Aibel Memorial Concert on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 3 p.m. This performance is made possible through the generous support of the Howard and Katherine Aibel Foundation and the Lundberg Family Foundation.
A cutting-edge string quartet, Owls offers an unforgettable musical experience as it takes the stage with a performance that defies tradition and expectations. Featuring violinist Alexi Kenney, violist Ayane Kozasa, cellist Gabriel Cabezas, and cellist-composer Paul Wiancko (a current member of the Kronos Quartet), Owls will present music that spans centuries, reinterpreted through their distinct instrumentation and creative spirit. This collective of musicians shares a deep passion for pushing the boundaries of chamber music, each celebrated for their exceptional talent and approach to music-making.
“What a gift to experience this level of artistry on our stage,” shared Lori Jones, director of programming and operations at the Quick Center for the Arts. “These are artists at the highest level of technical prowl who understand the importance on honoring the full spectrum of what chamber music offers through its past and present.”
In an unconventional twist, Owls features two cellos rather than the traditional two violins, allowing the quartet to explore fresh and new soundscapes. Their performances combine original compositions and arrangements of works from the 1600s to the present day, making the concert experience both timeless and forward-thinking. Each performance is a one-of-a-kind journey through music, blending deep emotional expression with technical mastery.
“We believe that music should be personal, powerful, and unpredictable,” says Paul Wiancko, cellist and composer for Owls. “By bringing our diverse influences and backgrounds into the mix, we are able to create performances that feel alive and without limits.”
Through the support of the Howard and Katherine Aibel Foundation, and the Lundberg Family Foundation, the artists of Owls will not only perform, but will also lead workshops and hands-on music learning as part of the Quick’s Arts for All program which serves more than 3,000 K-12th grade students annually. Owls will work with students at the Regional Center for the Arts in Trumbull, Conn., and with students in local Bridgeport schools to encourage more understanding of chamber and classical music and the relevancy of this important art form.
This concert is sponsored, in part, by Sturges Ridge and WPKN. Tickets are now on sale on quickcenter.com for $35, or $25 for Quick Members. For more information, contact the Quick Center Box Office at 203-254-4010, Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
