Utah’s Fry Street Quartet will front back-to-back performance at Livingston’s Shane Lalani Center for the Arts and Reynolds Hall on the Montana State University campus. The performances will be held Wednesday and Thursday, March 11th and 12th, respectively. Following on March 14th, Muir returns to Reynolds for a Saturday night performance. Each program will showcase incredible instrumentals from these local virtuosos – a great segue into spring! All begin at 7:30pm.
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” (The Strad). Since securing the Grand Prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the quartet has reached audiences from Carnegie Hall to London, and Sarajevo to Jerusalem, exploring the medium of the string quartet and its life-affirming potential with “profound understanding…depth of expression, and stunning technical astuteness” (Deseret Morning News). With a discography that includes a wide range of works from Haydn and Beethoven to Stravinsky, Janacek and Rorem, the quartet is known for being “equally at home in the classic repertoire of Mozart and Beethoven or contemporary music.” (Palm Beach Daily News).
Admission to all Montana Chamber Music Society performances is $30 for adults, $25 for seniors, and $15 for students. Tickets may be purchased at www.montanachambermusicsociety.org. These are also available at Cactus Records in Downtown Bozeman and at the door, depending on availability. Net proceeds from these programs support MCMS’s mission to present great chamber music performances throughout Montana year-round. •
