KATONAH, NY – Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, a vibrant cultural destination nestled on 81 acres of historic gardens and woodlands in Katonah, NY, continues its Rosen House Concert Series with two chamber music performances in April and May. On Sunday, April 12, 2026 at 3:00pm, Caramoor presents the internationally acclaimed supergroup Junction Trio. Caramoor’s 2025-26 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence, Poiesis Quartet, gives the second performance of its residency on Sunday, May 3, 2026 at 3:00pm. Caramoor’s Rosen House Concert Series is held in the exquisite Music Room of the historic home – a Mediterranean-style villa from 1939 filled with treasures from around the world. Audiences enjoy performances by some of today’s most in-demand artists in the same living room salon setting where Walter and Lucie Rosen once entertained their many friends.

Since coming together in 2015 as the Junction Trio, celebrated soloists violinist Stefan Jackiw (a 2007 alumn of Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars program), cellist Jay Campbell, and pianist Conrad Tao have dazzled audiences with performances that blend technical brilliance, emotional depth, and an adventurous spirit – redefining chamber music with fearless creativity and electrifying synergy.  For this performance at Caramoor on April 12, the Junction Trio will perform Conrad Tao’s Eventide, Maurice Ravel’s Piano Trio, and Robert Schumann’s Piano Trio No. 1 In D Minor, Op. 63. Whether interpreting classical masterworks or trailblazing contemporary works, the trio brings a fresh, dynamic energy to the stage. Their critically acclaimed appearances at Carnegie Hall, the 92nd Street Y, and Toronto’s Royal Conservatory have affirmed their place as one of today’s most exciting ensembles. 

The Poiesis Quartet – pronounced poy-EE-suhss, from the Greek “to make” – comprising violinists Sarah Ying Ma and Max Ball, violist Jasper de Boor, and cellist Drew Dansby, returns to the Rosen House on May 3 for the second concert of its residency at Caramoor, which showcases the ensemble’s fresh take on chamber music. Formed at Oberlin in 2022 and now based in Cincinnati, this award-winning ensemble has quickly gained national attention, with honors including the Grand Prizes at the 2025 Banff International String Quartet and the 2023 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competitions. Known for its rich, cohesive sound and adventurous programming, the quartet breathes new life into classical masterworks while amplifying bold, contemporary voices. On May 3, the Poiesis Quartet will perform Michi Wiancko’s To Unpathed Waters, Undreamed Shores (2020); Eleanor Alberga’s String Quartet No. 2 (1994); and Béla Bartók’s String Quartet No. 5 (1934). Poiesis’s first concert in residence at Caramoor was chosen as one of the best classical performances of 2025 by The New York Times. Tickets are free for audience members ages 18 and under.About Goitse

The multi-award-winning quintet Goitse continues to blaze trails as one of Ireland’s most dynamic and celebrated traditional ensembles. Forged in the white-hot creative crucible of Limerick’s Irish World Academy, the band is now celebrating 15 years of touring worldwide, captivating audiences with their signature blend of original compositions and timeless traditional tunes.

The gripping rhythm section of Colm Phelan and Conal O'Kane sets a powerful drive for the music, while the sweet, charismatic voice of County Louth's Áine McGeeney draws audiences into a song the way few performers can.

Danny Collins, a multi-instrumentalist All-Ireland Champion, is known for his distinctively rhythmic and expressive piano accordion playing, while Alan Reid features on banjo and bouzouki, drawing from an extensive knowledge of archival collections that enrich the band's repertoire.

Known for electrifying live performances, Goitse has built a reputation for energy, warmth and an uncanny ability to connect with audiences everywhere. Their artistry has not gone unnoticed: the band members and their music were recently featured on the hit Apple TV series Bad Sisters, introducing their sound to an even broader global audience.

From intimate stages to major international festivals, Goitse continues to redefine what it means to be ambassadors of Irish traditional music, pushing boundaries while honoring the past.
