Selected by / PUBLIQuartet

According to the PUBLIQuartet, composers John Corigliano and Andy Akiho reveal a hugely exciting, colorful and distinctive contemporary American sound. The quartet’s four string players, free and original minds with a penchant for experimentation, have christened their program American Icons and are happy to present new sounds from their native soil. 20th-century Julia Perry's Prelude adds a mellow tone. In the Selected by series, contrasts and connections resound; the musical language of different composers scrapes past each other or fits together wonderfully. In one hour, you will hear the string quartet repertoire across the board: all times, styles, sounds and colors.
