Verona Quartet

Eric Lu, piano

Summer 2025 and 2025-26 Season

This is a thoughtfully crafted program with Clara and Robert Schumann as the focus. The quartet will perform the first half and then will be joined for Schumann’s exquisite piano quintet in the second half.

Eric Lu is among today’s leading young pianists, with a career that launched after he won First Prize at the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2018 at the age of 20. Since then, he has collaborated with many of today’s leading artists and performed on premiere chamber series and with top orchestras internationally.
