More information:

The first half of this program offers music inspired by deep spirituality of Judaism in an arrangement of Kol Nidre for string quartet by John Zorn, the energy and the joy of African music in “White Man Sleeps” by Kevin Volans for string quartet and the deeply meditative harmonic journey of “Fratres” for string quartet by Arvo Part. The “Five World Dances” by Sergio Assad for guitar and string quartet will take you on a musical exploration of Middle eastern, Irish, African, Latin American, and Baltic music. Performing on guitar will be recent Curtis graduate and first prize winner of the Andres Segovia International Guitar Competition, Hao Yang. You will also be introduced to the 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, violinist Alexi Kenney. Also new to our audience is violist Scott Lee, sought after soloist and chamber musician. Returning to Concordia is the gifted violinist, Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu.
