Fontana Presents Rare Combo Of String Quartet & Percussion

miroquartet.com

The Miró Quartet plays Schubert. They play Beethoven. But they also collaborate with celebrated percussionist Colin Currie, in a fresh program that includes classics but also new works written for the unusual combination of quartet and percussion. In this case, Colin Currie will mostly ply his mallets on the marimba. 

Cara Lieurance speaks with cellist Josh Gindele from Austin, Texas, where the quartet serves on the faculty of the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin. Their Fontana performance is Saturday at the Dalton Center Recital Hall, WMU.

Cara Lieurance is the local host of NPR's All Things Considered on 1021 WMUK and covers local arts & culture on Let's Hear It on 89.9 Classical WMUK weekday mornings at 10 - 11 am.
