NEW DATE: October 7, 2022

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

Tickets are available online or at the door.

Sistema students may attend for free.
