Columbia Museum of Art (CMA) Chamber Music on Main

The British are coming! The Barbicans bring some of England’s greatest music to Main Street. An impossibly brief survey of British composers, from 17th-century Henry Purcell to 20th-century Benjamin Britten, runs the emotional and artistic gamut with the Barbican String Quartet — featuring Amarins Wierdsma and Kate Maloney on violin, Christoph Slenczka on viola, and Yoanna Prodanova on cello.  After intermission, the Quartet joins artistic director Andrew Armstrong on piano to stomp, sing, and soar their way through Dvořák’s immortal Piano Quintet in A. Presented by April C. Lucas and John J. Stucker.
