Description

The Carya String Quartet returns to the stage with a Gala premiere of "Landscape" and a silent auction to raise money for Season 4! “Landscape” focuses on nature, both planned and wild, complete with a special nod to the Impressionist School. This dreamy program opens with Caroline Shaw’s “Plan and Elevation,” which depicts the grounds of Dumbarton Oaks. It also includes Debussy’s impressionist masterpiece, “Quartet in G minor, Op. 10,” and Margaret Brouwer’s “Crosswinds,” inspired by the impressionist paintings of John H. Twatchmann. This program will premiere in a gala season opening event at TXRX Labs on Friday, September 24th. The event begins at 7:00pm and includes a silent auction and wine and cheese reception. Proceeds from the evening will support the Carya String Quartet’s fourth season.
