SUMMARY:The First Course | Palaver Strings Beehive Chamber Series
DESCRIPTION:To kick off their Season 8 Chamber Series\, Palaver Strings 
 presents The First Course\, a program of critically acclaimed string qua
 rtets throughout the ages.\n\nThey begin with Grazyna Bacewicz’s Fourt
 h Quartet\, which was entered into the International String Quartet Comp
 etition in 1951 at the behest of the Polish Composers’ Union. It was h
 ugely popular and won first prize by a landslide\, cementing Bacewicz’
 s place as one of the foremost Polish composers of all time. They will c
 ontinue with Voodoo Dolls by acclaimed living composer Jessie Montgomery
 . Originally written for a dance company\, this piece features influence
 s from west African drumming and elements of improvisation.\n\nThe progr
 am finishes off with Fanny Mendelssohn’s one and only String Quartet i
 n E-flat Major\, written later in her life and likely featured at her fa
 mous “Sunday Musical Salons” in Berlin.\n\n---\nSaturday\, December 
 4 from 3:30 - 5:00 PM and from 7:00 - 8:30 PM.\n\nDoors open at 3:00 PM
