digital content wednesdays, Happy Hour Fridays

DaPonte String Quartet adds weekly online engagements

Fri, 04/24/2020 - 8:15am

    While their concert schedule has been postponed, DaPonte String Quartet is now offering weekly postings online. 

    On Wednesday evenings, at 7 p.m., the Quartet posts digital content on its youtube channel. Sometimes a member of the Quartet will post a short film highlighting a piece that they are working on, or playing a piece they have longed to revisit.  Some weeks will highlight filmed excerpts from a past concert. 

    “Every Wednesday is sure to be a treat!” said DSQ, in a news release.

    Also consider joining for Happy Hour Fridays. Every Friday, at 5 p.m., DSQ gathers together (virtually) to chat about music, listen to each other’s plans, or discuss upcoming events. Starting the week of April 23, DSQ welcomes special guests to the Happy Hour discussion. It could be a bunch of students from the 2019 Institute, or a special guest artist who is assisting in rescheduling the 2020 concerts. 

    “Maybe a blast from the past or a sneak peek of the future!” said the Quartet.
