Fairmount String Quartet: How She Danced

The Fairmount String Quartet is excited to present "How She Danced!", a program of works by Mozart, Schubert, and Elena Ruehr.

Friday, May 12th at 7:30 PM at St. Patrick's Hall, 240 South 20th St., Philadelphia. Tickets
Saturday, May 13th at 7:30 PM at the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, 8000 St. Martins Lane, Philadelphia Tickets
It's Spring and this program offers much to be joyful about!

Mozart's String Quartet in Eb, K. 171 is an early work that flits back and forth between dark moments and lightness and birdsong, much as we emerge from darkness into light in this time of lengthening days.

Schubert's String Quartet in a minor, Op. 29 is based on his incidental music from the tale of Rosamunde, a woman trying to reclaim her throne. Her antagonist tries to stop her in several ways including by attempting to poison her, but in the end she has the right paperwork, ascends to the throne and he dies by his own poison.

Elena Ruehr's String Quartet #3 is a collection of four movements based on ancient traditional music from different parts of the world. "Clay Flutes" uses a Middle Eastern technique of layering the melody with different ornamentation played at the same time. "The Abbey" is inspired by the first published woman composer Hildegard van Bingen. "How She Danced" is based on a sub-Saharan melody, and "Bell Call" uses a West African rhythmic pattern. All have infectious drumming rhythms that make you want to move!

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door; $5 at all times for students.
