WWCMF Tenth Anniversary Celebration 2

  • 11 Mar 2017
  • 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
  • TBA

First on the program is the string quartet of Bedřich Smetana in E minor, performed by Festival Artists Brittany Boulding Breeden and Petro Krysa, violins; Timothy Christie, viola; and Kevin Krentz, cello. The folk-infused music tells the story of the famous Czech composer’s life. From young romance to personal triumphs and tragedies, Smetana lays bare his personal narrative in beautiful sound.

Next, the Festival quartet is joined by the world famous Turtle Island Quartet for a performance of David Balakrishnan’s “Snakes and Ladders” from his double quartet, Mara’s Garden of False Delights. The work combines funky grooves and the unmistakeable spice of Indian music.

Finally, Turtle Island Quartet takes the stage for a set of genre-defying selections. Jazz, blues, bluegrass, folk, classical and anything else they can think of will be on display. All pieces will be announced from the stage. Happy anniversary, WWCMF!
