AdaMa Quartet is a newly-formed chamber music quartet that brings together a striking and uncommon blend of strings and winds, creating a rich tapestry of sound through the seamless fusion of clarinet, bass clarinet, violin, and cello. The ensemble features four acclaimed musicians: violinist Meg Okura, MSU clarinetist Guy Yehuda, MSU bass clarinetist Tasha Warren, and cellist Dave Eggar. With its evocative sound world and cross-cultural resonance, AdaMa offers audiences a compelling new voice in contemporary chamber music. This distinctive instrumentation allows AdaMa to traverse a wide sonic landscape, from intimate whispers to powerful, resonant peaks. More than just an ensemble, AdaMa is a creative force that delves into the layered histories, cultural expressions, and emotional resonances of the human connection. Central to AdaMa’s vision is the exploration of the global Jewish diaspora, delving into collective memory, migration, and identity through sound. Clarinetist Guy Yehuda, an Israeli-American artist with an international career as a soloist, chamber musician, and educator, brings a deeply personal connection to the ensemble’s mission. His global experience and cultural Israeli roots infuse AdaMa’s work with authenticity and depth, complementing the ensemble’s broader commitment to storytelling and musical dialogue. Through original compositions and reimagined traditional melodies, the group explores themes of memory, migration, and identity, crafting immersive musical experiences that speak both to the past and to contemporary expressions of heritage. With its evocative sound world and deeply rooted storytelling, AdaMa offers audiences a compelling new voice in the world of chamber music.
