Beryllium String Quartet -- Rena Isbin, Violin
; Robert Burkhart,
Cello; William Hakim; Violin; Beryl Diamond Chacon, Violin -- will perform a free, one-hour chamber music program open to the public, featuring selections from the Ashkenazi traditions of Klezmer music. Originally performed as both concert and celebratory music for Eastern European cultural events, Klezmer was gradually relegated to being played strictly for celebrations in the wake of Jewish public meetings and concerts becoming prohibited.
Beryllium String Quartet explores myriad facets of Klezmer music.
Some have been handed down in traditional form, while other variations combine Western Classical music with Eastern European Jewish and folkloric music.
The ensemble has played Broadway, The Frick Collection museum, and Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other venues.
