The brilliant young Grammy Award-winning Catalyst Quartet returns with an exploration of music at the crossroads of Ravel, Gershwin, Latin jazz, and tango.
The program culminates in Ravel’s ravishing String Quartet, revealing impulses that became influences for the evening’s other three composers. The Latin-inspired works are rounded out with the addition of Gershwin’s dreamy Lullaby – a piece premiered by the Juilliard String Quartet and rarely performed in its original version. A gorgeous program from an ensemble dedicated to expanding what a string quartet can be in the 21st century.
