Arneis Quartet: Isang Bahay’s next Boston-area show is April 14, 2027 at BYSO Youth Center.
The Arneis Quartet is a Boston string quartet formed in 2009 by Boston University alumni and named for the Arneis grape - hard to grow, exquisite in the glass. Winners of the 2010 John Lad Prize and a silver medal at the 2012 International Chamber Music Ensemble Competition, they program standard repertoire alongside commissions and interdisciplinary collaborations, and their members teach at Boston University and St. Anselm College. Isang Bahay falls under the quartet's Kaisahan Initiative, launched in 2022 to build programs and partnerships across a wider range of cultural traditions; kaisahan is Filipino for oneness.
