Artist/Organization Name: Bennewitz Quartet

Event Title: Bennewitz Quartet

Date: Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024

Start Time: 7:30 pm

End Time: 11:59 pm

Event Information: Founded in 1998 in Prague, the Bennewitz Quartet was named after the famous Czech violinist and teacher Antonin Bennewitz (1833-1926), and established its reputation by winning the Osaka (2005) and the Premio Paolo Borciani (2008) competitions. Currently celebrating their 25th anniversary, the quartet is a champion of Czech music, and since the fall of 2017, they have been the ensemble-in-residence for the Czech Philharmonic, performing in Prague’s Dvořák Hall. 2024 has been declared The Year of Czech Music, a celebration observed every decade when the year ends in a “4”. The year 2024 also marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Bedrich Smetana, the 120th anniversary of the death of Dvořák, and the 170th anniversary of Leoš Janáček. It would only be fitting for the Jorgensen audience to be treated to an all Czech program to honor these important Czech musical milestones.

“The Bennewitz quartet is downright wonderful, with a perfect balance of warmth and objective clarity.” - Gramophone

NICKEL CREEK Special Event

NICKEL CREEK Special Event

Artist/Organization Name: Nickel Creek

Event Title: Nickel Creek

Date: Thursday, March 21, 2024

Start Time: 7:30 pm

End Time: 11:59 pm

Event Information: Nickel Creek is mandolinist Chris Thile, violinist Sara Watkins and guitarist Sean Watkins. Together a sum of more than their staggering parts, the trio revolutionized bluegrass and folk in the early 2000s and ushered in a new era of what we now recognize as Americana music. After a nine-year absence, the Platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning trio returned in 2023 with the highly-anticipated album, Celebrants — a bounty of 18 disparate but loosely connected songs written collectively during a creative retreat in Santa Barbara in early 2021. The result is perhaps the most audacious yet accessible release of the Grammy-winning trio's 34-year career. The entire enterprise is, naturally, shot through with the trio's virtuosic picking and shiver-inducing harmonies. The lyrics — addressing love, friendship, time, and the universal travails of travel — combine the poetic and plain-spoken, hitting a sweet spot of ethereal and relatable as bridges are built, crossed, burned, and rebuilt.

"Their instruments and voices alternately blend and shine...it's a joy to have the gang back together." - Paste


VIP Package:
The Celebrants Club VIP Package includes:
One (1) premium reserved seat ticket with early entry
Access to private pre-show performance by Nickel Creek
