Caramoor

Join us for an enchanting evening of chamber music under the stars at the beautiful Caramoor in Katonah, NY, on Friday, July 5, 2024. The Calidore String Quartet, renowned for their exquisite interpretations of chamber music repertory, will be joined by the extraordinary harpist Bridget Kibbey for a performance that promises to be a highlight of the summer season. The concert begins at 7:30 PM in the Spanish Courtyard, a setting that will add an extra layer of magic to the night's repertoire.

This special performance, titled "The Sacred and the Profane," will feature masterworks from the French Belle Époque, showcasing the dramatic and versatile sounds of the harp. Bridget Kibbey, celebrated for her virtuosic and soulful performances, will guide the audience through a journey of love, death, and the macabre with pieces by Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Ravel, and André Caplet. The program is inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s "The Mask of the Red Death," promising a finale that intertwines the sacred persona of the harp with its role as a harbinger of death.

The Calidore String Quartet, consisting of Jeffrey Myers and Ryan Meehan on violins, Jeremy Berry on viola, and Estelle Choi on cello, will also bring their signature sound to Ravel's String Quartet in F Major, among other pieces. Their collaboration with Kibbey highlights a season of performances that have captivated audiences worldwide, making this event a must-see for music lovers.
