American String Quartet to perform Jan. 13 in Lewes
Coastal Concerts will feature the American String Quartet at 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 13, at Bethel United Methodist Church in Lewes.
The American String Quartet is recognized internationally as one of the world’s finest quartets and has received numerous awards. Harpist Mariko Anraku was scheduled to join them for this performance, but unfortunately had to cancel her appearance due to a recent medical issue. A presentation of Performance Insights by Lani Spahr will precede the concert, beginning at 1 p.m. To purchase tickets, go to coastalconcerts.org or buy at the door.
The concert’s program consists of works by Mozart, Fournier, Beethoven, Debussy and Ravel.
ASQ has performed in all 50 states and in some of the most important concert halls worldwide. The group’s presentations of the complete quartets of Beethoven, Schubert, Schoenberg, Bartók and Mozart have won widespread critical acclaim. Their MusicMasters Complete Mozart String Quartets, performed on a matched quartet set of instruments by Stradivarius, are widely considered to have set the standard for this repertoire. 2024 marks ASQ’s 50th anniversary year.
