Apple Hill String Quartet Concert
Saturday, April 5,
4:00 pm to 5:30 pm EDT

The Apple Hill String Quartet members are the artistic directors and resident musicians at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music. The ensemble includes Elise Kuder and Jesse MacDonald, violin; Mike Kelley, viola, and Jacob MacKay, cello. The quartet’s eclectic and dynamic concert programs reflect the diversity of Apple Hill: pieces amplifying new voices in classical music; compositions from places representing the quartet’s global travels and the summer workshop community; and music from the historic canon and new commissions, especially from renowned alumni. This concert features String Quartet by Germaine Taillaferre; F. J. Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 64 No. 5 “the Lark”, an arrangement of Claude Debussy’s The Little Shepherd, and Meredith Monk’s Stringsongs.
