The Terra String Quartet presents a bold and exciting program featuring Benjamin Britten’s and Sofia Gubaidulina’s second string quartets and the beloved ninth string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven. Together these pieces explore the relationship between tradition and modernity and ways in which all artists both take inspiration from their predecessors and push against the boundaries of their time in an effort to create and inspire a new understanding of their surroundings and their art form. |

American-born, multidisciplinary artist Judi Harvest— whose extensive catalog oeuvre includes an amazing collection of abstract paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and multimedia works—is a legend who is just as energetic, inquisitive, and imaginative today as when she first began her career more than 40 years ago. Harvest has created works that are among the most technically profound and playfully vibrant in contemporary art. Among other things, she is known for her detailed Murano glass sculptures - from fruits such as tomatoes and pomegranates to insects such as honeybees - in fascinating, lifelike forms, meticulously sculpted using centuries-old Italian glassmaking techniques. |
