Artists-in-Residence Concert: New Orford String Quartet

The New Orford String Quartet, consisting of Andrew Wan and Jonathan Crow (violins), Sharon Wei* (viola), and Brian Manker (cello), perform "Pizzicato!" This captivating program showcases the diverse ways in which pizzicato, a technique where the strings are plucked instead of bowed, is used to shape the expressive landscapes of string quartet music. Works by Caroline Shaw, Ana Sokolovic and Beethoven. They will be joined by students to perform Mozart's delightful Divertimento in D major.
