The Meiravi String Quartet members have impressive resumes which they bring enthusiastically to the ensemble, contributing to its rich musicality and vibrant sound. The Quartet is unusual, not only because of its performance range and its composer-in-residence, Peter Nocella, but also because the group’s experienced in playing not only the Classical chamber music repertoire, but also will be performing music from a variety of genres--and always with a healthy sampling of music from the 20th and 21st centuries. Concerts might offer music from the world of jazz as well as global music--a tango from Argentina, a folk song from Inuits’ Alaska, or a Chinese lullaby. Every performance will include some musical surprises--and at least one work by an American composer, either from our musical past, the modern repertoire, or a newly commissioned work.
