Chamber Music Yellow
Springs welcomes the Afiara String
Quartet – an all-Canadian ensemble
widely noted for its engaging, authentic presence and performances
balancing “intensity and commitment” with
“frequent moments of tenderness.” [The Montreal Gazette].
The concert opens the CMYS 2012-13 season on September 30,
2012 at 7:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Yellow Springs (314 Xenia
Avenue). Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.cmys.org
or by mail; reservations at 937-374-8800. Individual tickets cost
$20 per adult, $7 for students, and season tickets are still available.
The musicians will
bookend the evening of chamber music with Beethoven String Quartets, beginning
with the A Major Op. 18 and ending with the C major Quartet, Op. 59, No. 3. The
middle portion of the concert will feature the contemporary composer Brett
Abigaña’s String Quartet # 2, composed for Afiara in 2010.
