Elm City String Quartet Concert #2: Brahms & Britten 🎻

November 23, 2022 @ 7:30 pm – November 27, 2022 @ 9:00 pm

The Elm City String Quartet continues their season with two absolute staples in the quartet repertoire. If you love immersive and expansive masterpieces, this concert is for you. The concert begins with the second string quartet of Johannes Brahms, which is an A-minor feat of musical transcendence. The second piece in the program is Benjamin Britten’s second string quartet: a meditative, intricate, and brazen musical journey.

Elm City String Quartet Concert 1: Beethoven & Glass 🎻

September 23, 2022 @ 7:30 pm – September 25, 2022 @ 9:00 pm

The Elm City String Quartet is kicking off their first full season with a bit of everything. We will be starting with one of the great Beethoven quartets, the opus 18, no. 4 in C minor, full of drive, energy, and passion. Following that, we will introduce you to “Strum,” an exciting piece by Jessie Montgomery, an American composer who’s making a big name for herself. The concert will be concluded with Philip Glass’ fifth quartet, a pure minimal masterpiece.
