Cape Cod String Quartet

Join the Hall in welcoming the Cape Cod String Quartet for an unforgettable experience at their “Spring Is Here” Concert Series, spotlighting Max Richter’s groundbreaking work, “Spring 1 Recomposed.” Richter’s unique approach to Vivaldi’s timeless “The Four Seasons” goes beyond mere transcription and rearrangement. In his own words, he absorbed Vivaldi’s original work “into his own musical bloodstream.”

In addition to Richter’s innovative composition, the Cape Cod String Quartet will present a diverse selection of pieces, including Mozart’s “Dissonance” quartet. Continuing the program, George Walker’s “Lyric for Strings” will be featured. Composed when Walker was only 24 years old, the piece’s sound, structure, and instrumentation are clearly inspired by the famous Adagio for Strings composed by Walker’s Curtis Institute classmate Samuel Barber in 1936.
