The Jamesport Meeting House invites you to a very special 1731 Series concert by the acclaimed Borromeo String Quartet on Saturday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m. This award-winning quartet is admired for its fresh interpretations of classical music and has been hailed for its “edge-of-the-seat performances,” by the Boston Globe, which called the Borromeo “simply the best.”
Inspiring audiences for more than 25 years, the Borromeo quartet features Nicholas Kitchen, violin; Kristopher Tong, violin; Melissa Reardon, viola; and Yeesun Kim, cello. These artists push classical music boundaries and are noted for being the first string quartet to utilize laptops on the concert stage which allows them to perform solely from four-part scores and composers’ manuscripts, a technique these artists teach to students around the world.
The program will feature the String Quartet No. 25 in C Major, Op. 20, No. 2 by Franz Joseph Haydn; Three Pieces for String Quartet by Igor Stravinsky; and String Quartet No. 14 in A-flat Major, Op. 105 by Antonín Dvorak.
The concert is part of the Meeting House’s premier “1731 Series” that brings internationally acclaimed musicians from the metropolitan area to Jamesport.
“The digital tide washing over society is lapping at the shores of classical music. The Borromeo players have embraced it in their daily musical lives like no other major chamber music group.” – The New York Times
