The Cramer Quartet presents "Touché! French String Quartets at the Dawn of Romanticism"

The Cramer Quartet offers a performance of hauntingly beautiful string quartets by two oft-overlooked French composers who foreshadowed Romanticism at the end of the 18th Century: Hyacinthe Jadin (1776-1800) and Joseph Bologne (1745-1799).

The Cramer Quartet:
Jessica Park, violin
Chiara Fasani Stauffer, violin
Keats Dieffenbach, viola
Shirley Hunt, cello

With period instruments and an invigorating historically informed approach, the Cramer Quartet brings uncommon warmth, transparency, and texture to Classical and early Romantic repertoire as well as commissioned works that explore and expand the sound world of gut strings. The quartet’s stylish, nuanced interpretations and visionary approach to programming stimulate dialogue around old and new works, inviting audiences to listen with fresh ears. Based in New England, members of the Cramer Quartet are persons of color, women, gender non-conforming/non-binary and LGBTQ individuals committed to centering the voices of underrepresented and marginalized communities.
