Tesla Quartet
Lot of Strings
Music Festival
Thursday, June
30, 8:00 PM
Praised for
their “superb capacity to find the inner heart of everything they
play, regardless of era, style, or technical demand” (The
International Review of Music), the Tesla Quartet brings
refinement and prowess to both new and established repertoire. This
appearance marks the 60th outdoor performance at the Morris
Museum since July 2020, and Tesla’s 6th outing in the
series.
Tesla's
technical brilliance and emotive musical prowess will dazzle
audiences yet again on the Back Deck. This time they will bring their
signature musicianship to works by Haydn, Ravel, Jessie Montgomery,
and Grazyna Bacewicz.
Each 8X8 block
is $50.00 and includes two patrons. Don’t forget, BYOB and BYO chairs
and picnics with live music under the sunset! In the event of
inclement weather, concerts will be held inside the Bickford Theatre.
All patrons will have to wear face masks while inside the Bickford
Theatre. An indoor picnic area will be provided if the concert is
moved inside.
