Dover Quartet

Dover Quartet

Celebrate America's 250th anniversary with an evening of powerful music.

To mark the occasion, the acclaimed Dover Quartet brings their signature blend of brilliance and heart to a program that reflects the complexity, spirit and evolving soundscape of America. Renowned for their glowing sound, the Dover Quartet has emerged as one of the most compelling chamber ensembles of their generation.

The evening features "Strum" by Jessie Montgomery and "Rattle Songs", an arrangement of traditional songs by Pura Fé, newly reimagined for string quartet by composer Jerod Tate. Tate's voice returns in a compelling new commission—music that speaks to Native identity, memory and continuity. The program culminates in Dvořák's "American" Quartet, written during the Czech composer's stay in the US in 1893. Infused with echoes of spirituals and folk songs, the program is a luminous reflection on the idea of America.
