The Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra and the Kingston Public Library will jointly present a free string quartet concert titled, A History of Music at the Kingston Intermediate School auditorium.
"We're excited to collaborate with the Kingston Public Library in presenting a free chamber ensemble concert for the community," said Kim Corben, Executive Director of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra. "Over the years, we've been fortunate to utilize the Kingston Intermediate School cafeteria for some of our concert rehearsals. In appreciation, we hope students, families, and Phil fans will come out to enjoy a free evening of beautiful music."
The 45-minute program will feature a variety of musical periods including baroque, classical, romantic, and contemporary. The string quartet will perform Loure from Third Suite for Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, the Minuet from Quartet in D minor by Joseph Hayden, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig Van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 13, Franz Schubert's Moment Musicaux, the String Quartet in F Major by Antonin Dvořák, and Libertango by Astor Piazzolla.
Kingston Public Library Reference Librarian Steven Miller will introduce each piece, and the concert will conclude with a brief question and answer session with the musicians. The quartet features Plymouth Philharmonic members Ana-Maria LaPointe and Aleksandra Labinska on violin, Elizabeth Christensen on viola, and Peter Zay on cello.
No admission or registration is required to attend the concert which is geared towards middle school and high school students, casual music lovers, and regular concert goers of the Plymouth Philharmonic.
