The Catalyst Quartet combines a serious commitment to diversity, education, and contemporary works with virtuosic playing “reminiscent of great quartets of the past such as the Guarneri and Budapest” (Richmond Times). The quartet was founded by the Sphinx Organization, a social justice organization dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts. In this concert, celebrate the music of important black composers Coleridge-Taylor, Price, and Perkinson with selections from the quartet’s February CD release Uncovered, which strives to highlight works by classical composers previously overlooked because of their race or gender.
Premieres Saturday, February 13 at 7pm Pacific.
Available through Saturday, February 20 at 11:59pm Pacific.
Concert passes: $20 single concert (available 30 days prior to event); $99 all-access
