The American String Quartet will
perform Saturday, Oct. 26, at 8 p.m.
in Union College's
Memorial Chapel.
(It takes the place of a concert by
the Artemis String Quartet, which has been cancelled.)
The concert, part of the Union
College chamber concert series,
will feature a program of works by Mozart's Quartet
in E-flat Major, K. 428; Shostakovich's Quartet
No. 8, Op. 110 (1960); and Beethoven's Quartet
in c-sharp minor, Op. 131.
The American String Quartet has
achieved a position of rare esteem in the world of chamber music. Now in their
29th year, this award-winning quartet of Juilliard schoolmates continues to
expand their innovative cyclic programming, bringing their assured rapport,
flawless balance and unity of style to a program which journeys through
elegance, tragedy, and mood.
Members are Peter Winograd and
Laurie Carney, violin; Daniel Avshalomov, viola; and Margo Tatgenhorst, cello.
