Renowned for their imaginative, spontaneous music making and lively interplay, the St. Lawrence String Quartet welcomes distinguished violinist Scott St. John in his debut performance as a member of the quartet. In the first of three Sundays with the St. Lawrence the vibrant foursome presents an emotionally diverse program that includes Mozart's String Quartet No. 21 in D Major and Shostakovich's fiercely intense Quartet No. 7. Celebrated Bosnian pianist Pedja Muzijevic joins St. John for Mozart's Sonata in E Minor and members of the quartet for Mozart's lush and charming piano quartet in G Minor. Geoff Nuttall, violin; Scott St. John, violin; Lesley Robertson, viola; Christopher Costanza, cello.
“...remarkable not simply for the quality of their music making...but for the joy they take in the act of connection.” —New Yorker
