Live in-person and live streamed from the stunning Ripley Chapel at First Congregational Church, Winchester. Please join us for an inspired and dynamic evening of string quartet music with Aryaloka String Quartet, highlighting four of Boston's finest string players: Beth Welty and Mark Latham, violins; Noralee Walker, viola; Sandi-Jo Malmon, cello.
The Aryaloka String Quartet will perform a concert of three quartets by Shostakovich, Max Mueller (the premiere of this work), and Ludwig van Beethoven. Superficially these works are quite different. However, they all explore and express our very human longings, joys, sorrows, and the desire for transcendence.
The Soviet composer Dimitri Shostakovich composed his fourth quartet in 1949, a time of great challenges for Soviet artists. Yet, while there is apparent discord in its music, it is, at the same time, full of a serene tranquility, lyricism as well as humor and fun.
