Music Festival Opens 25th AnniversarySeason with Ying Quartet
COOPERSTOWN—The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival will open its 25th anniversary season with a performance by the highly acclaimed Ying Quartet this Sunday, May 7 at 4 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church.
The quartet will present a program titled “American Made,” opening with Barber’s Quartet in B minor—from which his famous “Adagio” movement is drawn—and continuing with works by Jennifer Higdon and Billy Childs that draw on American roots and bebop music traditions. The program concludes with Quartet No. 13 in G major by Dvořák, a European composer who helped define the American musical voice.
