SUMMARY:DaPonte String Quartet Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join the DSQ for an evening of contrasts as they performs two great works. \nThe program includes the second of Beethoven’s “Razumovsky” quartets\, String Quartet in E minor\, Op 59 no 2\, a work that begins and ends in a stormy manner\, similar to the Appassionata Sonata for piano and written during the same period of Beethoven’s life. The sunny and often humorous Korngold Second String Quartet is a work which seems to reflect a 20th century nostalgia for the “old world”\, including a Straussian waltz\, and bears glimpses of the great film scores Korngold goes on to write in Hollywood in the ’40s and ’50s. \nThe DSQ had been — and continues to be — sought after to perform and teach all over the U.S. and around the world. They have appeared in France\, Scotland\, Canada\, and more than twenty American states. Their performances have been broadcast over nation-wide radio and television programs in both the United States and Canada. They have received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Philadelphia Musical Fund Society\, the Music Teachers National Association\, Chamber Music America\, and have participated in several of the nation’s most prestigious concert series to rave reviews. Musicians and critics alike wondered\, why would the DSQ move to Maine\, where\, as the New York Times noted\, they create an experience “like watching the Celtics play in the local gym.” \nBut the members of the DaPonte String Quartet were proud to call Maine home\, and their relationship with mid-coast Maine remains a deeply rooted one. When CBS Sunday Morning nationally televised a profile of the group\, the idea of living outside a major urban center suddenly appeared to be an appealing alternative lifestyle few musicians had considered. Few string quartets can boast such a devoted following. The people of Maine warmly embraced the DSQ\, which has become an integral part of the state’s musical life. When the Quartet debuted at Carnegie Hall\, a large contingent of their fans traveled to New York to hear and cheer them there. The Times wrote in amazement: “Let it not be said that the DaPonte String Quartet enters New York musical life without friends. Weill Hall was packed!” The state’s embrace of the DSQ has also taken the form of awards from the Maine Arts Commission.  This support enables the DSQ to perform a wide-ranging and varied repertoire.
