WALDOBORO — The DaPonte String Quartet will stop in Waldoboro and Rockport as it presents its February concert series, “Winter Light,” with a string trio version of the monumental “Goldberg Variations” by Johann Sebastian Bach.
The group’s realization for string trio is based on two separate trio arrangements, by Dmitry Sitkovetsky and Annette Bartholdy, then further modified by the quartet’s members to remain as faithful as possible to Bach’s keyboard original.
Some of these performances are given in conjunction with local restaurants, offering prix-fixe menus to ticket-holders.
Dates/locations include:
Feb 12, St. Pauls Chapel, Waldoboro at 5pm,
Feb 14, Robinhood Meeting House, Georgetown, at 7:30pm (dinner available),
Feb 15, Lemont Block Collective, Brunswick at 7:30pm (dinner available),
Feb 16, Maine Jewish Museum, Portland at 7pm,
Feb 17, Union. Hall, Rockport at 7:30pm (dinner available),
Feb 18, First Baptist Church, Freeport at 3pm (benefit for food pantry).
