PERFORMANCE: Tesla Quartet: The Music of Hugo Kauder
December 4 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$15
BMCM+AC is excited to welcome back The Tesla Quartet! This special performance, presented in conjunction with our Points in Space exhibition, will bring to life the music of Hugo Kauder, who served as composer-in-residence at Black Mountain College during the summer of 1945. The program will feature Kauder’s Seventh String Quartet, the same work first performed at BMC in 1945, offering audiences a rare chance to experience this historic piece in a contemporary setting.
The Tesla Quartet is known the world over for their “superb capacity to find the inner heart of everything they play, regardless of era, style, or technical demand” (The International Review of Music). From cutting edge contemporary works to established masterpieces, the Tesla Quartet’s emotive and thoughtful interpretations reveal the ensemble’s deep commitment to the craft and to their ever expanding repertoire. The quartet recognizes the power of their platform to amplify underrepresented voices and to encourage the proliferation of an equitable and just future for society as well as a hospitable climate for posterity.
“From the outset, the quartet plays as a single instrument. Their sound is balanced across registers, their timbres and articulations matched.” –The Classic Review
The Tesla Quartet is Ross Snyder (violin), Michelle Lie (violin), Edwin Kaplan (viola), and Austin Fisher (cello).
