Please join us for our final concert of this season. Featuring new and old music from around the globe.

Bay Area based Circadian String Quartet was founded in 2013 to perform classical and contemporary repertoire of folkloric or cultural significance. Since then, CSQ has become known for bold original programming ideas that break boundaries or reach across cultures. CSQ has been quartet-in-residence at the Music by the Mountain Festival in Mt. Shasta, has been featured in the April in Santa Cruz New Music Festival, and the members also serve as resident teaching artists for the Villa Sinfonia Foundation's Zephyr Point chamber music workshop in South Lake Tahoe. Some of CSQ’s recent projects include their collaboration with world class santor player Hamid Taghavi, and the upcoming premiere of “Eurydice’s Defiance,” David Ryther’s new Opera written especially for Kitka Soprano Lily Storm and CSQ.

Performing:

String Quartet in Eb Op. 51 by Dvorak

One Day Tehran, by Sahba Aminikia

El Caribe from “Scenes from Costa Rica” by David Ryther

An Andean Walkabout Toyos Chasqui Coqueteos by Gabriela Lena Frank

​“These four artists created a remarkable beauty at the bottom of their ranges, mining bitter grounds and translating them into direct emotion” “The Circadians conveyed the drama with keen sensitivity and hard bow strokes in their electric reading.​

Adam Broner, Piedmont Post

“The four musicians arrived from some unfamiliar far-off planet, I think, perhaps grads of some galactic conservatory, and the results could not have been more refreshing. The secret of the Circadian Quartet is breaking with routine and pushing the envelope.” ​

Paul Hertelendy, Artssf
