The American String Quartet: Personal Reflections of War
The American String Quartet performs iconic pieces created in response to war, featuring Bach, Barber, Bartok and Shostakovich, in rotation with poems and short stories written and presented by National Book Award–winning author and US Marine veteran, Phil Klay and award-winning poet and war correspondent, Tom Sleigh. In this groundbreaking program, entitled “Personal Reflections of War: In Words and Music,” the artists will examine the effects of war on individuals– their hearts, minds and souls.
