March 14 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
The Elm City String Quartet continues its season with a contrast of minimalism, romanticism and tango. Piazzolla’s Tango Ballet, an excellent example of nuevo tango, is a programmatic suite, and featuring six “film scenes”: introduction, the street, encounter / forgetfulness, cabaret, solitude, and the street again.
Arvo Pärt’s Summa is inspired by Medieval chant and Renaissance polyphony, and was originally composed as an a cappella vocal work for four singers. Mendelssohn’s Quartet Four is full of virtuosic passion, charming dance movements, and intimate romantic lyricism. While these pieces are from different ends of a musical spectrum, they all manage to get to the heart of what music is all about, in their own way.
