The Lydian String Quartet members are professors of the practice of music at Brandeis
University. During the past 27 years, their exquisite artistry has inspired worldwide
critical acclaim. The quartet's interpretive mastery of such traditional repertoire
as Haydn, Schubert, Beethoven, and Ravel--along with their special flair for contemporary
music--has earned them international accolades, including the prestigious Naumburg
Award for Chamber Music.

Pianist Chad Bowles
Joseph Haydn: Sonata in E Major, Hob.XVI:31
Enrique Granados: Valses Poéticos
Heitor Villa-Lobos: A Prole do Bebê Suite No 1
Franz Liszt: Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude

Chad is a master of his instrument and routinely hailed for his infectious enthusiasm
and exacting virtuosity. Equally at home with lesser-known gems, as well as the
standard repertoire, his performances have brought him to cities across the United
States, Canada, and Europe including Toronto, Washington DC, Columbus, Baltimore,
Boston, Philadelphia, Toulouse and Montréal. His many recital appearances as a soloist
and chamber musician have seen him in colleges and universities across the U.S.,
the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and the La Gesse Festival in France. His
recitals often feature commentary from the stage, something that his audiences have
responded to very favorably..

I'Estro Armonica: Héloïse Degruillier on recorder and Paul Cienniwa on harpsichord
 |
Héloïse and Paul have been performing together in the Boston and Newport areas since
2007.
Their 2009 concert for the Boston Early Music festival won them praise in
the American Recorder Society and the classical music blog
Soho the Dog.
Héloïse has worked extensively as both a recorder performer and teacher throughout
Europe and the United States. She has performed with leading period ensembles, including
the Boston Early Music Festival Opera, Newport Baroque, Harmonious Blacksmith, the
Dunya Ensemble and L’Academic. She teaches with the Boston Recorder society, Recorder
Guild of New York, Pinewoods and others. She has a Masters in Music from the Utrecht
Conservatory in the Netherlands, and is an Alexander Technique graduate.
Paul has recently performed at St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, Yale University,
Harvard University, MIT, the Kingston Chamber Music festival, and in Chicago. He
was hailed by critics for his performance and direction of Handel’s Alcina for the
Boston Opera Collaborative. His undergraduate work was done at DePaul University,
and he received the doctor of Musical Arts degree from Yale University. His musicological
articles have appeared in American and European journals, including Early Music
and Ad Parnassum. Read more about Paul at
