Spektral Quartet

Multi-Grammy nominated Spektral Quartet is widely praised for illuminating the connections between beloved works in the canon and fresh new repertoire by living composers in its innovative programs – which is just what they’ve done in curating this evocative program spanning several centuries and continents. This program was carefully curated to reflect the wide array of styles Spektral Quartet has played and loved over the years – from classics to commissions. The program opens with the earliest composition on the program, written in 1834, goes through a metamorphosis of styles written through 2022, then heads backwards to 1893. This is retrospective of their time together using some of their very favorite works, in honor of their final season together as an ensemble.

PROGRAM:
FANNY MENDELSSOHN HENSEL String Quartet in E-flat Major
MIGUEL ZENÓN Esquinas
TOMEKA REID Prospective Dwellers
