Call and Response at Newport Art Museum
/In celebration of the Newport Art Museum’s “Call & Response” exhibition, the Newport String Project presents a series of performances featuring music for string quartet from the 17th century to the present day. These imaginatively curated concerts will feature pairings of artwork on display with eclectic musical responses selected by the NSP’s artists-in-residence, the Newport String Quartet. Composers featured in this concert include Henry Purcell, William Grant Still, Caroline Shaw, Andrea Tarrodi and Komitas. This performance will be 45 minutes without intermission.
Musicians and listeners will wear masks and be physically distanced. Listeners will be seated in pods that match their ticket purchase.
Seating is very limited, but all four concerts will feature the same program. Reservations must be made in advance.
