Bronx Arts Ensemble presents a program for string quartet that brings together contemporary and historical works exploring introspection, dialogue, and the evolving language of the ensemble. Philip Glass’s String Quartet No. 5 creates a meditative environment shaped by repetition and subtle harmonic changes, drawing listeners into an introspective listening experience. Eleanor Alberga’s String Quartet No. 3 is a bold work filled with contrasting moods and strong musical conversations between the players. The program also includes Franz Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet in D Major, Op. 20, No. 4, a lively piece that showcases the playful back-and-forth between the four instruments that helped shape the string quartet as we know it today.
