Weekend Concert Series

Renaissance String Quartet

Sunday
May 17, 2026

1:30 - 3:30 pm
Calderwood Hall

We are thrilled and lucky to be able to present these four terrific musicians, who find time in their busy touring lives to perform together as a quartet (Randall Goosby plays a solo recital here in April). The great American composer Florence Price has a special gift for quartet writing; the exquisite and eloquent slow movement of her first quartet shows her love of American song, especially Black spirituals. Daniel Hass, cellist of the quartet, describes his beautiful first quartet as “Beethovenian in its thematic and structural tautness, but even more so in its motion towards excess.”
