Omaha Conservatory of Music partnered with Vesper Concerts, and the University of Nebraska Omaha to present a one-of-a kind Residency with the Amernet String Quartet. Consisting of two concerts and Master Classes, Amernet shared their skills and music with us over the course of three separate events.
Praised for their “intelligence” and “immensely satisfying” playing by the New York Times, the Amernet String Quartet has garnered recognition as one of today’s exceptional string quartets and are Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University in Miami. Their sound has been called “complex” but with an “old world flavor.”
