The Academy String Quartet kicks off the season of The Westmoreland Symphony presents Academy Concerts with familiar favorites and some surprises. The concert opens with a string quartet arrangement of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ beloved setting of the Welsh hymn Rhosymedre, followed Joseph Haydn’s “Sunrise” quartet – one of the very finest string quartets, combining elegance, rustic wit, and rhythmic vigor. The Academy Quartet violinists, Jorie Butler-Geyer and Leah Givelber will play a selection of short pieces from Autumn Leaves, by Illinois composer Elaine Fine. Schubert’s early quartets are often overlooked in favor of his longer, heavier later works; the quartet in E flat, written at age 16, is sweet and charming. A sultry tango by Texan Michael McLean sends us dancing home.
