The acclaimed Verona Quartet one of the most distinguished ensembles in today’s chamber music scene returns to our series with a song-inspired program. The Schubert and Mendelssohn string quartets are inspired by their songs “Death and the Maiden” and “Ist es wahr?”. George Walker wrote his “Lyric” for the string quartet after he graduated from Oberlin Conservatory (where the Verona Quartet is in residence) based on the lyrical sound of the human voice and spirit. Canadian singer and songwriter Tanya Tagaq uses an ingenious imagination to impart traditional Inuk throat singing onto the sound of Western string instruments.
