Derived from ancient Greek (ποιεῖν)\, the word Poiesis means “to make”\; specifically\, to create something that has not existed before. With an emphasis on expanding the string quartet repertoire with vibrant new works by emerging composers\, the Poiesis Quartet infuses each performance with unique moments of synchronicity and verve. Their 2024 debut album ‘as we are’ on the Bright Shiny Things label\, which features world premiere recordings with mezzo-soprano Nancy Maultsby\, was celebrated for the quartet’s ability to “paint vivid pictures” (Cleveland Classical). \n\nIn addition to a recent commission of Chinese-Canadian composer Kevin Lau’s seventh string quartet\, an exciting new endeavor spearheaded by Poiesis — the Oberlin Commission Project (TOCP) — presents world premieres of five newly commissioned works by LGBTQ+ composers of color from Oberlin Conservatory in March 2026. \n\n• Sarah Ying Ma (they/she)\, violin is pursuing an A.D. at the University of Cincinnati's CCM where she studies with Kristin Lee and is mentored in chamber music by the Ariel Quartet. Sarah was named a 2024 Performance Today Young Artist in Residence with host Fred Childs.\n• Max Ball (they/he)\, violin is a current A.D. student at the University of Cincinnati's CCM\, studying with Kristin Lee and quartet with the Ariel Quartet.
