Jasper String Quartet: Roots
Event Sponsored by:
The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation
The Jasper String Quartet (“flawless…expressively assured and beautifully balanced,” Gramophone) leads a program of music inspired by local and indigenous cultures. Gabriela Lena Frank draws upon her Peruvian roots in Leyendas, inspired by the sound of Andean folk instruments; Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate gives homage to Hopi and Pueblo music in Pisachi, accompanied by projected images of the American Southwest; and Czech master Antonín Dvořák pulls out the stops in his energetic, deliberately “Slavonic” String Quartet, Op. 51.
Program:
Backstage Pass: A Conversation with Chickasaw Composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate American Indian (Chickasaw) composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate joins Festival Artistic Directors Aaron Wunsch and Julia Bruskin for a conversation about how he expresses his native culture through his music.
