ROCKPORT — On Thursday, April 25, at 7 p.m., at the Rockport Opera House, Bay Chamber presents Palaver Strings alongside the Grammy award-winning Attacca Quartet for a unique collaborative performance. Selected musical works explore themes of togetherness and collective vision, in human communities, physical space, and the natural world.
 
Palaver Strings is a musician-led string ensemble and nonprofit organization based in Portland. Their mission is to strengthen and inspire community through music. Equally committed to performance and education, Palaver presents a full season of live performances and serves over 325 students each year through the Palaver Music Center in Portland.

“Attacca Quartet's dexterity to glide between the music of the 18th through to 21st century living composer’s repertoire has placed them as one of the most versatile and outstanding ensembles of the moment – a quartet for modern times,” said Bay Chamber, in a news release.
 
Their program includes music by Caroline Shaw, Paul Wiancko, Dana Lyn and Kyle Sanna and concludes with Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings.
 
Tickets are $45 for adults age 35 and over, $20 for adults ages 22-34 and Pay What You Wish for those age 21 and under.
