“Face to Face” is an immersive program by the Marian Anderson String Quartet that connects performance with the historical context of place. Developed by violist Diedra Lawrence, with commissioned music by Jonathan McNair, the program invites audiences at Brown University to engage with the layered histories of the university through sound.
Through performance and conversation, “Face to Face” brings the Quartet’s own artistic and historical narratives into dialogue with the stories of Brown. The program creates a space where these histories unfold alongside one another, allowing audiences to experience how music can reflect, respond to, and resonate within a specific institutional and cultural environment.
Can't make it on the 20th? There is another concert also happening on the 19th! https://www.facebook.com/share/1Hou2KyPdE/
