Host

Claudia D.

Welcome to my next Groupmuse event with a special focus on:
GREAT WOMEN COMPOSERS' String Quartets.

This is our round 2 where the wonderful cellist Mosa Tsay returns with her string quartet to perform mostly Modern and Contemporary compositions.

This will be a unique possibility to get introduced and to listen up-close to amazing but rarely performed female composers' works. This time with 2 pieces being repeated written by Caroline Shaw and Anna Clyne.

I hope you are as existed as I am and that you will be able to join us that evening.

My neighborhood restaurant Celestine (https://www.celestinebk.com) on 1 John Street will provide again some wonderful snacks and lemonade. Please bring your own alcoholic beverages.

Closest subway station is 'York Street' on the F line (it drops you off directly on Jay Street), otherwise 'High Street' on the A line. There is also a Ferry going to Dumbo; from there you can walk along the park to get to my building entrance. Street parking is best on the Vinegar Hill side.

What's the music?
