Series starts Friday, October 14 at 7:30 PM
Sixteen pieces of wire, some wrapped with catgut … four beautiful wooden boxes to hold them … and four talented, young players … and what do you have???
A String Quartet!
In this case the KAIA String Quartet … a group of young artists based in Chicago, participating in its vast musical scene in many different ways, and coming together to concertize as a string quartet that has seen much of the world already! This makes for a stunning ensemble. Victoria Moreira and Naomi Culp play violin, Sixto Franco Chorda plays viola and Hope Shepherd is the ‘cellist. Together they play a repertoire that spans music from the 16th to 21st century.
The evening will be graced by this fine quartet, playing a varied program from Beethoven to Piazzolla. The graceful and dramatic music of Beethoven soars in a space like the Westminster sanctuary and we already have had a goodly amount of non-traditional music in our worship, so now we stretch it to the concert series with some wonderful Tangos from the pen of Astor Piazzolla the famous Argentinean composer whose classical approach to this native music of South America has brought him acclaim, and audiences great pleasure.
We hope you will set the evening aside to join us. Bring some friends with you. Westminster will be alive with sounds of great music all through the 2016-2017 season. There will be an offering received to help support the series. No donation is required. We hope to see you on October 14.
For the Moss-Bradley area, this is great music right at your door. Walk over to Westminster Presbyterian Church and enjoy!
