The Howland Chamber Music Circle (HCMC) opens its 2024-2025 chamber series with the world-renowned Brentano String Quartet at the Howland Cultural Center on Sunday, September 15 at 4 pm. Following the concert, audience members can meet the musicians and enjoy complimentary refreshments. All ticket holders are invited to the reception. To purchase a ticket, visit howlandmusic.org. The Howland Cultural Center is at 477 Main Street in Beacon.

Since its founding in 1992, the Brentano String Quartet has performed to popular and critical acclaim across five continents. “Passionate, uninhibited and spellbinding,” raves the London Independent; the New York Times extols its “luxuriously warm sound [and] yearning lyricism”. The members of the quartet are currently Artists-in-Residence at the Yale School of Music.

For their 14th visit to the HCMC series — they first appeared in 1995! — the Brentano String Quartet will perform works by Haydn and Beethoven, as well as the world premiere of “Where is Our Home?,” by composer Lei Liang.

HCMC now offers a ticket pricing structure to include music lovers who may have been unable to afford our tickets in the past. A limited number of tickets will be available on a pay-what-you-wish basis. These tickets will be released one week prior to each concert.

Since 1993, the Howland Chamber Music Circle has been bringing highly talented musicians to perform for Hudson Valley audiences in Beacon, New York. Come hear chamber music as it is meant to be heard! For more information on this performance, the Howland Chamber Music Circle, or to purchase tickets, please visit howlandmusic.org.
