Experience a dynamic fusion of classical mastery and contemporary innovation with GRAMMY®-nominated PUBLIQuartet, praised by The Washington Post as “the epitome of modern chamber music”, in collaboration with sensational mezzo-soprano Renée Rapier. Be the first to hear the world premiere of GRAMMY®-nominated Clarice Assad‘s new work exploring the unbreakable spirit of women who dare to challenge societal norms and fight for their convictions. The remainder of the program explores the resonance between contemporary, blues, jazz, free, and rock-inflected music – all of which trace their roots back to the Black and Indigenous music that inspired Dvořák’s “American” String Quartet.  Don’t miss this electrifying concert bridging the past, present, and future of classical music!
