About The Performers
Sarita Kwok
Born in Australia to Chinese parents, Kwok has performed as a solo artist, recitalist, and chamber musician throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.
Frequently sought after as a chamber musician and soloist, Kwok was the founding first violinist of the Alianza Quartet, a former graduate quartet at Yale School of Music (2006-2008) whose “unusually elegant sound” was praised by The New York Times following their Carnegie Hall debut. In 2012, Kwok formed the Arabella String Quartet with violinist Julie Eskar, violist Ettore Causa and cellist Alexandre Lecarme.
