Our season opener, “Echoes of Home,” features Shelley Washington’s “Middle Ground”, which the composer describes as “my refuge born from the land living in my heart”, as well as folk song and dance settings by the Danish String Quartet. The heart of the program is Dvorak’s famous “American” Quartet, which he wrote on a visit to Iowa while homesick for his native Prague.

"Cornerstones"

Our winter concerts feature two “Cornerstones” of the quartet repertoire, both of which set the standard for everything that followed. We’ll begin with Mozart’s D minor, written in tribute to his teacher, Haydn, the inventor of the string quartet. The centerpiece of the program is Bartok’s monumental 4th Quartet, which redefined what was possible for a string quartet, and features one of the most beautiful and haunting slow movements ever written.

We close our season with “Breaking New Ground,” a program featuring Beethoven’s “Harp” Quartet (so named for all the plucking in the first movement), and a world premiere by our own violinist, Mable Lecrone, along with music by the Danish String Quartet.
