The Cortlandt String Quartet - An Evening of Classical Music

Tompkins Corners Cultural Center,  a 501c3 not-for-profit organization, was incorporated in 2014 with the mission to purchase the historic church and grounds at 729  Peekskill Hollow Road in Putnam Valley, NY.,  preserve its status on the National Register of Historic Places, and create the only community cultural center in Putnam Valley.

Tompkins Corners Cultural Center

Traditional and contemporary classical chamber music featuring an ensemble of virtuoso artists.
Tickets will be available at the door.

Leading the Quartet will be Andy Stein, a two-time Grammy award-winning violinist and conductor. He has composed for or accompanied music luminaries such as Sir Paul McCartney, Itzak Perlman, Bob Dylan, Placido Domingo, Wynton Marsalis, Yo-Yo Ma, James Taylor, and David Amram. Perhaps best known for his 22-year run with Garrison Keillor on A Prairie Home Companion, he was also a 40-year member of Vince Giordano's Nighthawks.Joining Andy will be violist Rachel Evans, a principal player and recitalist at the Carmel Bach Festival for many years. She is also a member of the Sante Fe Opera Company, Apollo's Fire Baroque Orchestra, and the contemporary music ensemble Continuum. Violist Sarah Adams is currently principal violist of the Riverside Symphony. She also frequently acts as principal violist of the American Ballet Theatre and performs regularly with the Orchestra of St. Luke's and the Little Orchestra Society.  Rounding out this unique chamber music quartet will be Argentine cellist Leo Grinhauz, a dedicated tanguero who is currently a member of the Sweet Plantain String Quartet, specializing in combining Latin jazz and a multi-style approach within the tradition of the string quartet. Their repertoire for this event includes Antonin Dvorak's American String Quartet Op. 96, Mozart String Quartet K589 in Bb, and Wapango by Cuban Jazz clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera. Andy will speak about these pieces and why the ensemble has chosen them for this program.This concert will be on our indoor stage. This project is made possible, in part, through the Putnam Arts Council's Arts Link Grant Program with public funds provided through the NY State Council on the Arts with support from the Governor’s Office and the NY State Legislature.
