March 12, 2024:
The Cassatt String Quartet and pianist Ursula Oppens
Featuring a world-renowned ensemble of musicians, the March 12th concert will include music written by Victoria Bond for the Cassatt String Quartet entitled Blue and Green Music, which was inspired by paintings created by Georgia O’Keefe. Following this piece, the quartet will be joined by the extraordinary pianist Ursula Oppens to perform a series of piano quintets written by various female composers. Ethos was composed by Tania León, who drew inspiration from poetry by Susannah Sheffer. Written by Wang Jie, Songs for Mahler in the Absence of Words is a contemporary reflection of the unfinished second movement of Mahler’s only chamber piece, his Piano Quartet. To conclude the program, the musicians will perform the exciting Dumbarton Quintet by Joan Tower, a piece with deep influences from both Copland and Stravinsky.
