Diversity and Inclusion: The Four Worlds of the Aryaloka String Quartet

Friday, March 15, at 7:30pm. Four players, four composers, four quartets, four worlds. All connected by interwoven threads, invigorating explorations of sound, form, rhythm, texture, mood, drama… Beethoven, Caroline Shaw, Haydn, Astor Piazzola. Each one pushing the boundaries in their musings. The stormy, wild and unpredictable Beethoven; Shaw (inspired by Haydn in this case), as if in a hymn or a dream; Haydn, despite being close in time to the Beethoven, utterly different, charming, morose, playful; and Piazzola, giving us the limits of the tango dance form, a narrative of street encounters and cabaret. Continuing its mission to present unlikely juxtapositions of quartet works, the Aryaloka Quartet invites you to hear this marvelous playing out (pun intended) of diversity and inclusion. Four worlds but, in the end, one world. The Aryaloka String Quartet of Boston was formed in the mid-2000's by long-time colleagues and friends Beth Welty and Mark Latham, violins; Noralee Walker, viola, and Sandi-Jo Malmon, cello. They are dedicated to bringing the communal experience of chamber music to the wider world, in both smaller, unexpected venues as well as traditional concert halls. $25.
