This evening at 7:30 pm, the Kontras Quartet will perform two masterworks of Mozart and Dvorak on the Live and Interactive! Series at Western Michigan University. In a conversation with Cara Lieurance, violinists Dmitri Pogorelev and François Henkins discuss the music and the joy of collaborating. "We are lucky to never have to play music we don't love," says Henkins.
Based in Chicago, the Kontras Quartet has served as the quartet-in-residence at the WMU School of Music for three years. For this concert, they've invited two WMU faculty soloists to perform: clarinetist Bradley Wong in the Mozart Clarinet Quintet, and pianist Silvia Roederer in Dvorak's Piano Quintet No. 2 Op 81.
The Kontras Quartet performs at 7:30 pm tonight in the Dalton Center Recital Hall. More information is at the WMU School of Music website.
