Who is America? The Fra/ctured String Quartet is presented by Buffalo Toronto Public Media.
A string quartet formed in the summer of 2022, Fra/ctured is inspired by the idea of different music communities existing within close proximity, the sometimes unwillingness to explore these communities, and the courage it takes to cross those boundaries and explore something new. This program will explore American classical music, and the composers that have used their voices, as well as the voices of others, to shape the American music landscape in ways that have pushed many boundaries. We’ll hear from composers including Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Jessie Montgomery, Rhiannan Ghiddens, and an arrangement of a piece by Charles Ives by Fra/ctured violinist Evan Courtin. In honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the nation, the group explores themes that offer a different perspective on who built this country, and who America is now. BTPM Classical Live On Stage is made possible by funding from the Cullen Foundation and by our BTPM members. RESERVE YOUR FREE SEAT HERE, or call 716-592-9038.
