Award-Winning Quartet At Silvermine
NEW CANAAN â The award-winning Laurentian String Quartet will present the concluding concert of this seasonâs Silvermine Chamber Music Series on Friday, August 3, at 8 pm, at Silvermine Guild Arts Center.
Quartet-in-residence at Sarah Lawrence College since 1978, the group made its New York debut in 1981 as winner of the Artists International Competition. Since then the ensemble has performed throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and the Far East. Tours in North Africa have been sponsored by the United States State Department.
Offering a large repertoire of mixed ensemble works, the Laurentian String Quartet has collaborated with such eminent artists as Eugenia Zukerman and members of Tokyo String Quartet. They record for the Musical Heritage Society, Soundspells Productions and Newport Classic, which will soon release their recording of quartets by American composers Samuel Barber, Anthony Newman and George Rochberg.
Quartet members are Sungrai Sohn and Larry Watson, violins; Daniel Miller, cello; and Joel Rudin, viola.
The quartet will play works by Mozart, Barber and Dvorak in its August 3 performance at Silvermine. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students.
