The Colorado Quartet bids farewell after an illustrious career of 30 years with their final New York performance. Acclaimed soprano Lucy Shelton joins them in the world premiere of Tamar Muskal's new piece based on "Farewell Letters to the Beloved One" by Hanoch Levin. The evening pairs this haunting new work with Leoš Janáček's "manifesto on love," the Quartet No. 2, Intimate Letters. The Muskal was commissioned by the Quartet in collaboration with Symphony Space.

D. Lydia Redding, violin
Marka Gustavsson, viola
Katie Schlaikjer, cello

"As virtuosic show, Shelton's performance was memorable, but as interpretive and musical exploration, its scope seemed limitless." -The Philadelphia Inquirer
