Admired and sought after for both its fresh interpretations of the classical music canon and its championing of works by 20th and 21st century composers\, the ensemble has been hailed for its “edge-of-the- seat performances\,” by the Boston Globe\, which called it “simply the best.” Inspiring audiences for more than 25 years\, the Borromeo continues to be a pioneer in its use of technology\, and has the trailblazing distinction of being the first string quartet to utilize laptop computers on the concert stage. Reading music this way helps push artistic boundaries\, allowing the artists to perform solely from 4-part scores and composers’ manuscripts\, a revealing and metamorphic experience which these dedicated musicians now teach to students around the world. As the New York Times noted\, “The digital tide washing over society is lapping at the shores of classical music. The Borromeo players have embraced it in their daily musical lives like no other major chamber music group.” Moreover\, the Quartet often leads discussions enhanced by projections of handwritten manuscripts\, investigating with the audience the creative process of the composer. And in 2003 the Borromeo became the first classical ensemble to make its own live concert recordings and videos\, distributing them for many years to audiences through its Living Archive\, a music learning web portal for which a new version will soon be released. LEARN MORE \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n HeifetzMusic · Heifetz On Air E65: Bravo Borromeo!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This concert is sponsored by: URL:https://heifetzinstitute.org/event/heifetz-hear-now-2023-24-borromeo-string-quartet/ LOCATION:Francis Auditorium\, 227 East Frederick Street\, Staunton\, VA\, 24401\, United States CATEGORIES:Hear & Now ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://heifetzinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/109.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240303T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240303T170000 DTSTAMP:20260427T023540 CREATED:20230724T164329Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240221T165745Z UID:10000435-1709474400-1709485200@heifetzinstitute.org SUMMARY:Heifetz Hear & Now 2023-24: Garth Newel Piano Quartet DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE TICKETS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Heifetz Institute presents Hear & Now – a chamber music concert series at Mary Baldwin University’s Francis Auditorium in Staunton\, Virginia.
