SUMMARY:Palaver Strings: Beehive Chamber Series - The Happiest of Times
DESCRIPTION:Our Beehive Chamber Series opens with The Happiest of Times.
  We begin with the Danish String Quarter’s haunting arrangement of Uns
 t Boat Song\, a Shetland folk prayer traditionally sung to sailors by th
 eir families left on shore. We continue with William Grant Stills’ Dan
 zas de Panama\, based on a collection of Panamanian folk dances collecte
 d by Elizabeth Waldo in the 1940s\, in four vivid movements. Our program
  ends with Felix Mendelssohn’s very first string quartet\, Opus 12\, N
 o. 1. Only twenty years old at the time\, Mendelssohn wrote with the cla
 ssicism of his day while pushing the expressive envelope\, setting the s
 tage for a fruitful career as one of the greatest chamber music composer
 s the world has ever known.\n\nUnst Boat Song: trad.\, arr Danish String
  Quartet\n\nDanzas de Panama: William Grant Still\n\nString Quartet\, Op
 . 12\, No. 1: Felix Mendelssohn\n\nWe are excited to partner with SPEEDW
 ELL for this program. All donations and tickets will be split 50/50 betw
