SoHIP: Touché! French String Quartets at the Dawn of Romanticism
Free
Jessica Park, violin
Chiara Fasani Stauffer, violin
Keats Dieffenbach, viola
Shirley Hunt, cello
The Cramer Quartet offers a performance of hauntingly beautiful string quartets by two oft-overlooked French composers who foreshadowed Romanticism at the end of the 18th Century: Hyacinthe Jadin (1776-1800) and Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799). With period instruments and an invigorating historically informed approach, the quartet brings uncommon warmth, transparency, and texture to this repertoire. The Cramer Quartet is committed to centering the voices of underrepresented and marginalized communities.
Performances are Wednesdays at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific.
With sincere gratitude to the participating artists, SoHIP is pleased to present these digital offerings on their YouTube channel, Facebook page, and homepage.
