The Glen Arbor Arts Center (GAAC) will host the Cerus Quartet as Musicians-in-Residence from June 8–20, 2026, as part of their Manitou Music Series, in partnership with Interlochen Public Radio’s (IPR) Sound Garden Project.
Emerging as one of the most compelling chamber ensembles of their generation, the Cerus Quartet brings the dynamic sound of the saxophone quartet to the Glen Arbor area. Their repertoire spans contemporary works and transcriptions of classical masterworks, combining innovation, versatility, and engaging visual elements to create a distinctive performance experience.
The Cerus Quartet has earned multiple prestigious honors, including first prize at the 2024 MTNA National Chamber Music Competition, the 2025 Concert Artists Guild Louis and Susan Meisel Competition, and a Gold Medal at the 2025 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. They have premiered works by Jennifer Higdon, Karalyn Schubring, and Joey Karz, with a new commission by Ryan Lindveit underway.
