In 2023, Musicians of Ma’alwyck first performed works from the fascinating archive of an early twentieth-century group, the Zoellner String Quartet. Composed of siblings and their father, this quartet played a varied repertory and made a point of performing for nontraditional audiences in unusual spaces. MofM emulated their work by playing in the Barn at Hyde Hall in Cooperstown and at the Washington Avenue Armory in Albany during some of the warmest days of 2023.

In 2025, Musicians of Ma’alwyck continue its exploration of the Zoellners’ repertory along with the lives of their famous supporters. In addition to local performances, we will tour to two important Zoellner performance locations: Wyoming, NY, in the western part of the state, where the quartet spent a summer in residence for suffragist Lydia Avery Coonley Ward and to Wrentham, MA, where they were guests of famed author and disability rights advocate, Helen Keller.
