Concert | Del Sol String Quartet: Heart and Seoul

Friday, October 2, 2009, 7:00 pm

Free

An evening of stunning compositions from Korea and Latin-America. The San Francisco-based Del Sol String Quartet stands out as a group of pure invention—exploring new ways for a string quartet to interact with audiences, composers and other artists. The members of the Quartet are Kate Stenberg and Rick Shinozaki, violinists, Charlton Lee, violist, and Hannah Addario-Berry, cellist.

The evening’s concert takes the listener on a journey from the music of Paul Yeon Lee’s Quartet Ari, Ari… ari, based on the Korean folk song Arirang, to Hyo-shin Na’s Song of the Beggars, a representation of the spirit of Korean mendicants, who howl their wheedling wails best when totally ashamed of their plight. Hae-Sung Lee’s heart-wrenching Sae (Bird) and a movement from a new work by Cuban composer Tania Leon entitled Esencia, inspired by fragrant scents that are found in Cuban home life. The brilliantly beautiful fourth movement of Gabriela Lena Frank’s Quartet, Leyandas: An Andean Walkabout, depicts a legendary figure from the Inca period--the chasqui runner, who sprinted great distances to deliver messages between towns separated from one another by the Andean peaks.
