The Isidore Quartet in Concert
The Isidore Quartet is Matinee Musicale’s final visiting artist concert of the 2025–26 season! Winners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, the New York City-based Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory. The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of “approaching the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established.” The Chicago Classical Review describes the Isidore Quartet as “[a] polished sonority and well-balanced, tightly synchronized ensemble with nearly faultless intonation… it is heartening to know that chamber music is in good hands with such gifted young ensembles as the Isidore Quartet.”
The Trinkets + Mid Dream | Live on the Cosmic Stage!
The Trinkets are an indie pop rock band from Duluth founded by Elsie Zimmerman (vocals/guitar) and April Dressel (drums). They’re inspired by the music of their parents’ generation like Green Day, Weezer, Nirvana, and Radiohead, but they are also students of modern artists such as Chapelle Roan, Billie Eilish, and Clairo. Although they are a new band, they’ve played a fair share of shows around town, including Spirit of the Times and Gag Me With a Spoon. They’ve been working on a debut EP, and have recently released an original single, Anabelle. Fronted by vocalists Jenna Harting and Lisa Wentworth, Mid Dream cranks out upbeat pop-punky anthems, soul searching ballads, and some things decidedly neither. With Rachel Riefenberg on drums, Matt Prois on bass, Alex Nelson on keys, and Bryan Wentworth toeing the line between lead guitar and synthscape, their tunes are filled with compelling textures and powerful harmonies.
