What’s the hook?
March kicks off a set of three concerts featuring Clarice Assad and the three Mendelssohn Opus 44 quartets. This afternoon will start with Benjamin Britten’s arrangement of Henry Purcell’s Chacony, then Assad’s Canções da America, a work in 6 movements. Wrapping up the concert will be Mendelssohn’s ebullient String Quartet in D Major, a work so brilliant and bright it seems to call the spring into being.

Sunday, April 12 at 3 pm
139 St. John’s Place, Park Slope
What’s the hook?
Come hear music by two of the most dynamic American composers today, Caroline Shaw and composer in residence Clarice Assad, on a (hopefully) beautiful spring afternoon in Park Slope. Shaw’s Shenandoah, performed by husband-wife duo Laura Metcalf and Rupert Boyd, begins the afternoon, before the whole sextet performs Assad’s Sephardic Suite. The concert wraps up with the second installment of Felix Mendelssohn’s opus 44 string quartets, his hauntingly beautiful quartet in e minor.
