About the OMA Quartet

The Open Music Academy String Quartet, formed in 2024, consists of Adelaide Youth Orchestra members Aiyana Ishino, Alanna Kennedy (violin), Annika Ganesh (viola) and Sherry Cheng (cello). Tutored by Stephen King and Helen Ayres, they are developing their ensemble skills and enjoying the challenge of learning new repertoire. The quartet participated in the Elder Conservatorium quartet weekend workshops and the Adelaide Eisteddfod, placing first in the Chamber Ensemble section (18 years and under). Performing a Haydn String Quartet for the Recitals Australia Lunch Hour Concert Series was a wonderful opportunity to share their love of music with a wider audience.
