On Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 7pm at Cossin Theater in Chinatown, Composers Concordance will present the concert event entitled String Quartet +. The program will feature the world premiere of Faye-Ellen Silverman’s ‘From Eve’s Perspective’ for soprano and string quartet on words by Mark Twain.
The CompCord String Quartet, which consists of Mark Zaki, Lynn Bechtold (violins), Artie Dibble (viola), and Mary Wooten (cello) premieres innovative new compositions, exploring both the classic quartet format and exciting collaborations with additional instruments. Joining the quartet are renowned soloists including David Cossin (percussion), Sheryl Henze (flute), Sara Paar (soprano), and Franz Hackl (trumpet).
Composers Concordance, founded in 1984 by Joseph Pehrson and Patrick Hardish, advised by Otto Luening, strives to present contemporary music in innovative ways, with an emphasis on thematic programming. The concert will be live-streamed on Composers Concordance’s Facebook Page, and tickets to the event are available by reservation only by emailing [email protected].
