Avalon String Quartet in Chicago - Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 7:30 pm

The Avalon String Quartet will be joined by a guest pianist for a program voiced by American composers. the program will include the following:

Harold Meltzer: New Work for String Quartet
Reich: Different Trains
Amy Beach: Quintet for Piano and Strings

Steve Reich's groundbreaking work Different Trains (for string quartet with pre-recorded tape) uses the rhythm of human speech to tell stories of America before, during and after the Second World War. Amy Beach was the first American woman to gain international recognition; her 1907 Piano Quintet is a shining example of American Romanticism. Pulitzer Prize finalist Harold Meltzer was awarded the 2008 Barlow Prize for the composition of a new string quartet. The Avalon is part of a consortium of three string quartets (with the Pacifica and Lydian) giving the first performances of this work.
