American classics
Details
Avanti String Quartet full profile / String Quartet / 4 musicians
Other players: Stephen Green, Tamsen Beseke, Robert Miskey
Full program notes
This program revolves around the American experience from Joplin to Bernstein. From the latter, we will play arrangements of Maria, Tonight, and Mambo. The Entertainer by Scott Joplin will be contrasted with the melancholy Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar. No American program would be complete without a bit from the movies: we will perform the Tango: Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel featured in Scent of a Woman. If time allows, we will round out the program with a movement from Dvorak’s American Quartet.
