Harlem Quartet Roars Through New England

Last month brought the Quartet to New London, NH and Greensboro, VT, closing out the festival season at the finale of the Newport Classical festival, where they joined the festival's Resident Artists for string octets by Shostakovich and Mendelssohn. The momentum continues with an eight-day New England tour, August 9–16, including a stop at the Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival in Chatham; collaborative jazz-and-classical performances with saxophonist Steve Wilson, pianist Renee Rosnes, and bassist David Wong in Falmouth and Wellfleet, featuring world premieres of a new Rosnes commission and two Maria Schneider arrangements; and appearances on Martha's Vineyard with the Chappaquiddick Community Center Chamber Music Series and the Martha's Vineyard Chamber Music Society.
