VICTORY TOWNSHIP The West Shore Community College Performing Arts Living Room Series will feature a musical evening with the Fry Street String Quartet on Thursday, March 4. The online concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
This remarkable quartet, hailed as a triumph of ensemble playing by The New York Times, is a multi-faceted ensemble taking chamber music in new directions. Touring music of the masters as well as exciting original works from visionary composers of our time, the Fry Street Quartet has perfected a blend of technical precision and scorching spontaneity, accord to The Strad.

When I was a music-obsessed kid, in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, I could easily find radio and television shows that purported to explain how classical music worked. Karl Haas genially elucidated form and style on âAdventures in Good Music,â and Leonard Bernstein held forth on PBS about Beethoven. These were late-period examples of a genre known as music appreciation, which peaked in the thirties and forties, when Walter Damrosch, on NBC radio, invented ditzy ditties for the classicsââThis is / The sym-pho-
nee / That Schu-bert wrote but nev-er fin-ished . . .ââand Aaron Copland had an unlikely best-seller, âWhat to Listen for in Music.â
Out of the hardships of 2020, the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra is emerging in new form. Christmas with the Symphony, with its quality of production matching the beautiful playing, gave us a glimpse of what is to come. And now with the release of the first in a chamber series, we are getting an ever greater sense, and we are gripped with excitement. Not only are we presented with the level of performance we have come to expect from this fine orchestra, we are able to experience each piece with an intimacy previously unknown. And we can have that experience again and again thanks to the well designed SCSO Live app. Join our conversation with Executive Director Richard Steinbach to learn more of what s to come and how to engage.

THE SOUND of the cello, a pleasure for the ear and appealing to the heart as the instrument many believe is closest in sound to the human voice, will be at the centre of a new festival for Galway.
