Galvin Cello Quartet performs Beethoven and a World Premiere

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Ken Scigulinsky in memory of Tia Scigulinsky – classical music was her special joy.

Following a sold-out performance at the Newport Classical Recital Hall in 2024, we are thrilled to welcome the Galvin Cello Quartet back to Newport for an exceptional concert at The Breakers. Fresh off their Silver Medal at the 2021 Fischoff Competition and their win at the 2022 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition, the quartet has quickly become a force in the classical music world. Known for their innovative approach to new music, this concert will feature the world premiere of a piece commissioned by Newport Classical from Canadian Indigenous cellist and composer Cris Derksen, alongside works by Beethoven, Mozart, Mussorgsky, and Tchaikovsky, blending beloved classics with exciting new compositions.

James Baik, Sydney Lee, Luiz Fernando Venturelli, and Haddon Kay, cellos
