Viano Quartet & Nina Bernat

Now in its 17th year, CMNW’s Protégé Project has helped launch the careers of a new generation of world-renowned musicians and composers, and tonight is a celebration of their stellar rise! Acclaimed bassist Nina Bernat (2024) joins the dynamic Viano Quartet (2022)–all five alumni now winners of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant–for an evening of quartets and quintets. Their program will feature two CMNW-commissioned works written especially for them by Protégé Alumni Composers Alistair Coleman (2022) and Kian Ravaei (2023), as well as Dvořák’s thrilling “American” String Quintet with the added power and depth of Bernat’s double bass.
