The next Free Family Curiosity Concert will feature the Harlem String Quartet on March 24, 2018 at 3:00 pm at the Cole Auditorium at Greenwich Library, 101 West Putnam Avenue, Greenwich.The quartet’s mission is to advance diversity in classical music, engaging young and new audiences through the discovery and presentation of varied repertoire that includes works by minority composers.
Since its public debut in 2006 at Carnegie Hall, the New York-based ensemble has performed throughout the U.S. as well as in France, the U.K., Belgium, Panama, Canada, and in South Africa, where under the auspices of the U.S. State Department they spent two weeks on tour performing concerts and participating in outreach activities. The Quartet completed the Professional String Quartet Residency Program at New England Conservatory in 2013, and participated in NEC’s string quartet exchange program in Paris, working extensively with violinist Günter Pichler.
The Harlem String Quartet is presented in association with the Ashforth Children’s Concert Series of Greenwich Library. Curiosity Concerts is directing all donations for this concert to the Greenwich Library Annual Campaign.
