American String Quartet plays Saturday

The American String Quartet will perform Saturday, Oct. 26, at 8 p.m. in Union College's Memorial Chapel.

(It takes the place of a concert by the Artemis String Quartet, which has been cancelled.)

The concert, part of the Union College chamber concert series, will feature a program of works by Mozart's Quartet in E-flat Major, K. 428; Shostakovich's Quartet No. 8, Op. 110 (1960); and Beethoven's Quartet in c-sharp minor, Op. 131.

The American String Quartet has achieved a position of rare esteem in the world of chamber music. Now in their 29th year, this award-winning quartet of Juilliard schoolmates continues to expand their innovative cyclic programming, bringing their assured rapport, flawless balance and unity of style to a program which journeys through elegance, tragedy, and mood.

Members are Peter Winograd and Laurie Carney, violin; Daniel Avshalomov, viola; and Margo Tatgenhorst, cello.
