April 9th- 2 PM Pequot Library
Borromeo String Quartet
The Borromeo String Quartet is recognized as one of the most important string quartets of our time. Now celebrating their 25th anniversary, the Borromeo have performed a vast repertoire worldwide and collaborated with many of today’s great composers and performers. They have been the faculty ensemble-in-residence at the New England Conservatory of Music for twenty-two years and work extensively with the Library of Congress, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
The Borromeo have been trailblazers in the use of laptop computers for reading music. This method allows them to perform entirely from 4-part scores and also composer's manuscripts, a revealing and transformative experience that they now teach to students around the world. At the Young Persons’ Concert they will display projections of handwritten manuscripts that vividly illustrate the creative process.
The Borromeo Quartet have received many awards throughout their illustrious career, including Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Martin E. Segal Award and the Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award. They won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions and top prizes at the International String Quartet Competition in Evian, France.
A master class will be held for two student string quartets right after the concert. Students will audition for the opportunity to participate in the master class program. Please call 203-254-0123 for more information or email musicforyouthct@gmail.com. There will be a $30 per person registration fee to participate in the master class.
