Chiara Quartet is coming to perform at The Laus Hall House Concert Series on March 17, Thursday at 7:30pm!!!
---------------------------------------
THE Chiara String Quartet is moving forward by taking a cue from the past. Hearkening back to a tradition that is centuries old and still common amongst soloists, the Chiara Quartet has adopted a new way of performing: from memory, without printed sheet music, or "by heart." After spending countless hours working towards playing their repertoire by memory, they now feel that sheet music is a distraction to the performance, instead of an aid. Of the process, the Chiara's cellist Gregory Beaver says, "Each player must find a way to know the music inside and out—it has brought us much closer together in our music-making." After memorizing a work, the Quartet is rewarded with deeply gratifying performances where each member feels fully present in the moment, truly performing with heart, by heart.

Come and enjoy beautiful music with great food and wine.
