MUSIC IN THE PARK SCORES A WINNER

In the acoustically magnificent United Church of Christ, where Music In the Park has enjoyed over thirty years of musical excellence, Sunday, April 17, 2016, was another winner. Performing for a small but intense audience was the Chira String Quartet, Rebecca Fischer and Hyeyung Julie Yoon-violins, Jonha Sirota viola and Gregory Beaver, cello.

They performed a difficult program superbly. The program led off with Leyendas: An Andean Wlkkabout by Gabriela Leng Frank, Bela Bartok's difficult String Quartet No 4, sz 91 and the program concluded with the eminently listenable quartet No 2 in  A minor, Opus 51 by Johannes Brahms. All in all a most pleasant performance from an expressive, competent quartet.
