DaPonte String Quartet
Sunday, May 16, 2010, 2 pm
Pre-concert talk at 1 pm.
This concert series favorite will return to
Jewett Hall for the sixth year to share their extraordinary musical
skill along with their personable and accessible style that makes their music
relevant and fresh. Their exhilarating
debut at Carnegie Hall five years ago was the New York premier of Del
Tredicci’s String Quartet, which they commissioned. That success was followed
by an engagement two years ago in February aboard Bargemusic, a 102-foot long
converted barge once used by the Erie Lackawanna Railroad, now permanently
moored at Fulton Ferry Landing, Brooklyn, NY, with an outstanding view of lower
Manhattan. www.daponte.org
Their program:
Quartet in G Major, Op. 18, No. 2 ~ Ludwig van Beethoven
Quartet in F Major ~ Maurice Ravel
Quartet in A Major, Op. 41, No. 3 ~ Robert Schumann
