Summary
Four CBSO string players perform rhythmic works by John Adams and Jessie Montgomery alongside Dvořák’s American Quartet at The Exchange.
Why it's fantastic
Dvořák wrote his American quartet while homesick in Iowa, and the resulting music is full of wide-open spaces and infectious folk energy. It is paired here with rhythmically driven modern works by John Adams and Jessie Montgomery, creating a short, punchy programme that feels fresh rather than formal.
