Newport County Concert Series - II

Saturday, December 7th at 2pm

Newport Art Museum, 76 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI

The Newport String Project continues its signature Newport County Concert Series on Saturday, December 7th , 2pm at Newport Art Museum.

The program opens with a lesser heard work from Haydn’s set of op. 50 Prussian quartets, the expansive String Quartet in C Major. The quartet will also perform Tom Morrison’s Sea Change (2018) - a musical evocation of Antarctica and meditation on the impact of climate change. Concertgoers will have the unique opportunity to experience Tom Morrison’s piece against the panoramic backdrop of KELSY PATNAUDE: AT SEA (with cole brauer) currently on view at the Newport Art Museum.

The centerpiece of the program is Dvořák’s monumental String Quartet in G Major op 106 – a piece overflowing with the joy of his return to his homeland following his stint in America.

PLEASE NOTE

Thanks to a wonderful response to this event, advance reservations for this concert are now CLOSED!

Walk-in guests will be accommodated on a space available basis.
