Tonight's Concert: About The Manhattan String Quartet

Hailed by the Boston Globe as “a national treasure,” the MANHATTAN STRING QUARTET is celebrating its 47th season and is composed of Curtis Macomber (violin), Anna Lim (violin), Marka Gustavsson (viola), and Chris Finckel (cello). Each member of this ensemble has had a distinguished musical career in their own right.

Program Information

"NEWER VOICES"


Turina Oracion del Torero, op. 34
Barber Adagio from String Quartet, op. 11
Grieg String Quartet in G Minor, op. 27

This program, titled “Newer Voices,” offers a thoughtful contrast to the earlier works presented throughout this season’s concerts. While not entirely “new,” these selections highlight composers drawing on shared cultural identity and collective expression.

A unifying thread throughout the evening is the sense of national voice and commonality. Together, these works explore how music can express the spirit and emotional landscape of a people.
