Our season finale continues Delgani’s partnership with Boston composer Elena Ruehr, whose seventh quartet was commissioned and premiered by Delgani in 2020. In this program we feature Ruehr’s vibrant third quartet, which boasts an eclectic array of influences, from Hildegard von Bingen to African dance rhythms. Celebrated quartets by Haydn and Brahms open and close the program, concluding our season with joy in a post-pandemic world!
