Family Reunion: A Theatrical String Quartet

For String Quartet and Narration

What happens when you combine centuries of musical tradition with family drama? This work invites you to witness a gathering in classical music history – a reunion of the String family, where four distinctive personalities come together to celebrate their shared heritage while navigating the complexities of sibling rivalry, overlooked talents, and the wisdom of generations. This piece combines traditional string quartet repertoire with theatrical narration, creating an accessible and entertaining introduction to chamber music.  The narration provides context and humor while allowing the music to speak for itself.
