Immerse yourself in an intimate evening of live music with Chamber Dance Project’s resident string quartet. Experience the powerful sounds of our upcoming performance repertoire for Arena Stage January 4 and June 2025 season. Following the concert, join us for a reception to engage with our musicians and artistic director.

Experience an evening of powerful and evocative music at our upcoming quartet concert, where you’ll be captivated by the haunting beauty of Philip Glass’s String Quartets No. 2 and 3, as they set the tone for “Exit Wounds”, choreographed by Diane Coburn Bruning. 

Arvo Pärt’s “Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten”, the score that accompanies Kiss, choreographed by Susan Marshall, is an elegiac piece that Pärt dedicated to Britten to show his respect and admiration for Britten’s music. Quartet Cellist Benjamin Wensel will bring Kaija Saariaho’s “Spins and Spells” to life. The piece evokes two gestures- one of spinning tops and one of timeless moments of sound color and texture. The night culminates in the intense rhythms of Alberto Ginastera’s String Quartet No. 1, where music and motion collide in a dynamic, unforgettable performance. 

Sponsored by the Arts 275th Commemorative Program grant from the City of Alexandria and the National Endowment for the Arts, this event is designed to captivate and inspire —secure your tickets today!

Parking: Free at The Lyceum; King Street Metro10 blocks away (free trolley available).
