The Next Big String
After nearly five decades together, the Guarneri String Quartet will say farewell to New York on Saturday. We'll hear from the group's violist and look at the next generation of quartets on the scene. Also: songs about the Q train, courtesy of bandleader Roy Nathanson.
Future for Four
Some of the most time-honored, experienced string quartets are calling it quits. Now, younger ensembles are aiming to fill their shoes. Joining us for a look at the future of string quartets are Guarneri String Quartet violist Michael Tree, Chiara String Quartet violist Jonah Sirota, and Ronen Givony of the Wordless Music Series.
