About this Event
The Verona Quartet takes the stage at the intimate Poet's House for an evening that spans centuries and cultures, from Philip Glass's introspective String Quartet No. 2 Company — inspired by a Samuel Beckett novel — to George Walker's deeply personal Lyric for String Quartet, a lament for his enslaved grandmother. The highlight of the evening is MoonStrike, a dramatic 25-minute work by Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate, performed with the composer as live narrator, weaving together American Indian legends and the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing. The program closes with a swinging Twenties Tunes Jazz Suite, arranged by Peter Myers, bringing the roaring sounds of the Cotton Club.
