Launching the inaugural Chamber Series at Newport Music Festival’s new Recital Hall, Thalea String Quartet brings together artists of Nigerian, Venezuelan, Japanese and Canadian heritage. With repertoire as diverse as its members, and every bit as exuberant, Thalea connects with audiences on a musical, emotional, and personal level, from first-time listeners to chamber music aficionados. This evocative program pairs two well-known masterworks by Haydn and Dvorák with American 21st century composers Daniel Bernard Roumain and Florence Price and celebrates the variety of expression communicated through the string quartet form.
