Info:
The Catalyst Quartet continues its exploration of compelling chamber works in this collaborative program with bass-baritone Dashon Burton, featuring the songs of Florence B. Price.
The Catalyst Quartet has a bold and compelling mission: "We believe in the unity that can be achieved through music and imagine our programs and projects with this in mind." The New York Times summed up their artistry: "beautiful to watch, like a family in lively conversation at the dinner table: anticipating, interrupting, changing subjects." Pianist Stewart Goodyear is a perfect match for the Catalyst, "one of the best pianists of his generation" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
The Quartet, known for "perfect ensemble unity" and "unequaled class of execution" (Lincoln Journal Star), has toured widely throughout the United States and abroad. The quartet believes in the unity that can be achieved through music and imagine their programs and projects with this in mind, redefining and reimagining the classical music experience. The Catalyst Quartet combines a serious commitment to diversity and education with a passion for contemporary works.
Bass-baritone Dashon Burton, described by Opera News as "reverberant and eloquent...with quiet authenticity, depth and tenderness," brings a gentle note to an evening of song.
Dashon Burton has established a vibrant career in opera, recital, and with orchestra. In key elements of his repertoire-Bach's Passions and the B minor Mass, Mendelssohn's Elijah, Beethoven 9, the Brahms Requiem, Handel's Messiah, and Mozart's Requiem-Dashon is a frequent guest with the major orchestras of the United States, Europe, and Japan.
The program will include:
JOSEPH BOLOGNE LE CHEVALIER DE ST. GEORGES: String Quartet No. 4 in C minor, Op. 1 String Quartet in D Major, Op. 1, No. 6 WILLIAM GRANT STILL: Lyric String Quartette FLORENCE PRICE (Arr. Dashon Burton): Art Songs FLORENCE PRICE: String Quartet No. 2 in A minor
