PLEASE NOTE: Due to inclement weather, tonight’s concert has been moved to St. Paschal Baylon.

Merriam-Webster defines a romp as “high-spirited, carefree, and boisterous play,” which perfectly describes this rollicking escapade of a program. Dvořák wrote his inventive Terzetto so he and his musical neighbors would have something fun to play together. Scratch is hilariously inventive and quirky, exactly what you’d expect from a piece for three balloons, and Hermann’s Capriccio is a thrilling, frantic joyride.
The final set of works (drawn from the Kronos Quartet’s visionary “50 For the Future” project) showcases a vast variety of global influences and distinctive voices: Azerbaijani dances; Jewish-Italian liturgical melodies; Inuit throat singing with electronica influences; metaphysical prose and medieval dance forms; and traditional handclapping songs from Mali. Plus a bonus track: Come Together, by The Beatles—exactly what we’ve been longing to do!
