PROGRAM Prokofiev Quartet #1 Shaw Entr’acte Haydn Quartet Op. 20 #4 Perkinson Quartet #1 “Calvary”

In her notes about Entr’acte, Caroline Shaw writes “I love the way some music…suddenly takes you to the other side of Alice’s looking glass, in a kind of absurd, subtle, technicolor transition.” This program invites you to embrace contrasts between shadow and light, stillness and movement, and the musical wormholes that exist between those realms. From the subtle and by now familiarly endearing cast of characters in Haydn’s music, to the sinister and seductive tension of Prokofiev’s musical language, folding in the haunting murmurations of Shaw’s fresh voice and Perkinson’s strong tribute to theatrical gospel, this concert is sure to trigger the imagination and invite you to see things differently.
