Program Description

Details

The internationally acclaimed ensemble: ‘Rachmaninoff String Quartet’ was established by award winning international concert cellist, music pedagogue and entertainer, Steve Kramer. 

Steve Kramer is the award-winning recipient of the internationally prestigious Jacob Gade Foundation’s 36th Grand Prize. The prize supports an outstanding musician who possesses progressive and penetrating musicality and pizzazz and who desires to have a life-long career as a major international artist and performer.

Since receiving the award in 1998, Steve Kramer has collaborated with composers from all over the world. He has performed contemporary music by composers Jennifer Higdon, David Finko, Ben Steinberg, Nimrod Borenstein, Daniel Dorff, Sidney Grolnic, Eleonor Sigal, Andrea Clearfield, Cynthia Folio, Eugene Magalif, Victor Frost and Ib Nørholm, as well as compositions by Scandinavian composers and composers who lost their lives in World Wars I & II.

In addition, he was awarded the Talent Prize and Gold Medal at the national music competition, the Berlingske Music Competition, in Copenhagen, Denmark, and garnered an Artist Prize given by Pope John Paul II in Orvieto at the Orvieto Musica festival in Italy. Numerous Danish foundations, including the Jacob Gade Foundation, Augustinus Foundation, the Royal Danish family and English benefactors, generously subsidized Steve Kramer’s early education.
