SUMMARY:Ulysses Quartet and Oskar Espina Ruiz\, Clarinet
DESCRIPTION:The Hotchkiss Library of Sharon\, in collaboration with Music 
 Mountain\, is thrilled to introduce a free Sunday at 3pm classical music 
 concert series. This winter\, immerse yourself in three exceptional 
 performances featuring renowned and emerging musicians. The concerts will 
 take place in the newly restored Hotchkiss Library of Sharon at 10 Upper 
 Main Street in Sharon. \n\nOskar Espina Ruiz has been described by the 
 press as a “masterful soloist” (La Nación\, Costa Rica) and a 
 “highly expressive clarinetist” (Nevskoye Vremia\, Russia). He has 
 performed at major concert halls and festivals to high critical acclaim\, 
 including concerto performances at the Philharmonic Hall in St. 
 Petersburg\, Russia\, and recitals in New York City\, Washington DC\, 
 Moscow\, Madrid\, Tokyo\, Beijing\, Shanghai and Hong Kong. He has appeared 
 as soloist with the St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony (Russia)\, St. 
 Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic (Russia)\, Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra\, 
 Orquesta Sinfónica de la Ciudad de Asunción (Paraguay) and Bilbao 
 Symphony (Spain).\n\nThe Ulysses Quartet has been praised for their 
 “textural versatility\,” “grave beauty” and “the kind of 
 chemistry many quartets long for\, but rarely achieve” (The Strad). 
 Founded in 2015\, the group won the grand prize and gold medal in the 
 senior string division of the 2016 Fischoff National Chamber Music 
 Competition and first prize in the 2018 Schoenfeld International String 
 Competition. The quartet’s members hail from Canada\, the United States 
 and Taiwan. They have performed in such prestigious venues as Carnegie 
 Hall\, Lincoln Center\, Jordan Hall\, the Picasso Museum in Málaga and 
 Washington’s National Gallery of Art. The group’s name pays homage to 
 Homer’s hero Odysseus and his 10-year voyage home. \n\nThe Guild\, the 
 library's volunteer organization\, extends a warm invitation to all lovers 
 of music\, books\, and culture. Concert seating is very limited and 
 registration is required\, beginning January 3rd  for the first 
 concert.\n\n
