Violist

Nature and movement inspire the program featuring this quartet named for Festival violinist Steven Laven’s piece, Angry Water, which conveys to the listener an eventful trip down the Snake River. Music by Kenji Bunch is inspired by baroque dances while movements from Caroline Shaw’s Plan and Elevation take us through both the order and chaos of a lush garden.
