Beacon Hill Concerts invites you to the captivating performance of the string quartet, Balourdet, on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at 4:00pm.
These young artists came together in 2019 while students at Rice University, and after only one year at Rice and a summer at the Aspen Music Festival, they were selected as the only quartet admitted to Boston’s historic New England Conservatory. That was the beginning of their rapid rise to prominence. Since then, they have had a full schedule of concerts (more than 70 per season), residencies (artists in residence at Indiana University and with the Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle in North Carolina), and exciting collaborations and projects.
Their Beacon Hill program will be an original mix of classic and contemporary works, including Mendelssohn’s String Quartet in E Minor, Op. 44 No. 2 (1837); Karim Al-Zand, “Strange Machines” [a piece that “pays homage to music of the past, while infusing Al-Zind’s signature musical humor and evocative imagery”] (2022); and Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 7 in F Major Op. 59 No 1 (1806).
Reservations: You must have a reservation to attend this concert. As in the past, Dan accepts reservations for concerts one month prior to the concert date. Reservations for Balourdet are now open. Make your reservation by emailing Dan, indicating the number of seats you wish to reserve and the NAMES of all attendees. Your reservation is not “official” until you receive confirmation from Dan and is only valid for the named attendees. There is no admission fee, only a “suggested donation” at the door of $20 adult / $15 senior / $5 student.
Don’t delay! Make your reservation early if you are definitely planning to attend.
Sidnie and I look forward to seeing you all and sharing with you this unique musical event.
