ACMS Launches 72nd Season with Poiesis Quartet, Founded by an ACMS Rising Star
The Asheville Chamber Music Series will launch its 72nd season with a performance by the Poiesis Quartet on Sunday, September 1, at 4 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church. The Poiesis Quartet was founded at Oberlin Conservatory by Drew Dansby, a cellist who performed in the ACMS Rising Stars series in 2022. “Poiesis is a Greek word that means to create something new out of nothing, found in words like poetry or hemopoiesis,” says Dansby. “As such, our mission is not only to bring a unique synergy and sensitivity to each performance, but we are also invested in the creation of new commissioned works and artistic collaborations. We are a group of young, queer, multidisciplinary artists, and as such we are always concerned with platforming musical voices and genres that are not traditionally associated with chamber music.”
