The recorder collective Quartet New Generation (QNG) is dedicated to contemporary music and collaborations with emerging composers from around the world, proving to international audiences the recorder’s ability to be a modern classical instrument. Performing on many different recorders of varying sizes and shapes during the course of an average performance, the quartet also firmly believes that early music can be seen as new when programmed with a fresh eye and juxtaposed with contemporary works. This innovative style of programming, combined with QNG’s mesmerizing stage presence, has attracted broad and enthusiastic audiences throughout Europe and South and North America.
Bringing Bay Area audiences the world’s finest chamber music since 1952, the Morrison Artists Series is “indispensable,” says the San Francisco Chronicle. The Morrison Artists Series concert program, under the command of Artistic Director Saul Gropman, presents six free Sunday afternoon performances each year by acclaimed chamber music ensembles.
