If “azmari” is derived from Aramaic meaning “to sing,” then in four short years Northern Kentucky University’s Corbett String Quartet-in-Residence has sung their way to becoming one of the region’s most prized chamber ensembles. Described by The Cincinnati Enquirer as possessing “relentless energy and superb intonation,” the Azmari Quartet is a winner of the prestigious Plowman Chamber Music Competition and TROMP International String Quartet Competition. Azmari maintains an active schedule of performing and teaching.
