Mason Bates — Suite for String Quartet (D.C. premiere)
Antonín Dvořák — String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat major, Op. 51, B. 92 "Slavonic"
The Dover Quartet has been a Fortas favorite since its Kennedy Center debut in 2014, captivating audiences with its "expert musicianship" and "deep musical feeling" (The Chicago Tribune). Named one of the greatest string quartets of the last 100 years by BBC Music Magazine, the ensemble partners once again with Grammy Award–winning artist Mason Bates to present a new work artfully crafted for the quartet and commissioned by the Kennedy Center. Selections by Haydn and Dvořák round out the evening.

About Dover Quartet
Named one of the greatest string quartets of the last 100 years by BBC Music Magazine, the GRAMMY® nominated Dover Quartet has followed a “practically meteoric” (Strings) trajectory to become one of the most in-demand chamber ensembles in the world. In addition to its faculty role as the Penelope P. Watkins Ensemble in Residence at the Curtis Institute of Music, the Dover Quartet holds residencies with the Kennedy Center, Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Artosphere, and the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. The group’s awards include a stunning sweep of all prizes at the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition, grand and first prizes at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, and prizes at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. Its prestigious honors include the Avery Fisher Career Grant, Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award, and Lincoln Center’s Hunt Family Award.
