CALDER QUARTET: Intimate Letters September 20, 2009

Inspired by visual artist Alexander Calder, the Calder Quartet challenges the conventions of chamber music with insightful pairings of traditional and contemporary. The program includes Janáček’s Quartet No. 2 (“Intimate Letters”), an expression of the composer’s impassioned correspondence with his “immortal beloved;” Stravinsky’s “Three Pieces” and Schubert’s Quartet in G Major.

There will be a Talk Back with the artists following the performance.
