POIESIS QUARTET
With Guest Amer Hasan (clarinet)
From modern to Mozart, this young ensemble to watch brings poise and panache to Asheville in this season-opening concert. Known for performing classical music through a fresh perspective, the innovative group drew inspiration for its name, Poiesis, from the ancient Greek word ποιεῖν, which means “to make” — or, specifically, to create something that has never been made before.
