Description

The Fairmount String Quartet performs works by Haydn, Prokofiev, and Coleridge-Taylor in this profound and delightful program. This program takes the listener on a journey from the very beginning of the string quartet form in this early Haydn string quartet to Prokofiev's transformation of that form to his own distinctive musical language, then transports them to Coleridge-Taylor's charming fantasy tableau. A voyage of both light-heartedness and deep emotion. Haydn - String Quartet, Op. 20, #2 Prokofiev - String Quartet #1, Op. 50 Coleridge-Taylor - Fantasie-Stucke Masking and distancing are required at this accessible venue.
