The Renaissance String Quartet, violinists Randall Goosby and Jeremiah Blacklow, violist Jameel Martin, and cellist Daniel Hass, sit down at the Institute for Advanced Study's Wolfensohn Hall for a combined performance and discussion moderated by Benjamin Sosland of the New England Conservatory and Juilliard. The event frames itself around collaboration across time, and the quartet plays and discusses works by Mozart, Brahms, Florence Price, and Hass's own compositions, tracing how they negotiate historical distance in interpretation. Archival audio clips, from Marian Anderson to Stevie Wonder, anchor a conversation about shifting performance practices and the musicians' own influences, formed over a decade of friendship through the Perlman Music Program and Juilliard. The quartet also describes its rehearsal method, which they call live, breathe, and die, explaining how deliberately embracing uncertainty shapes their ensemble playing. Recorded May 14, 2026, with support from the Edward T. Cone Foundation, the session runs 86 minutes and mixes live music with direct talk about craft.
