Kontras Masterclass and Recital
Performing will be WYSO Youth Orchestra members who will work with Kontras on compositions of Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Schubert and Frank Bridge.
Following the Masterclass portion of the evening, Kontras will give their own short performance.
Formed in 2009, the "superb Chicago-based ensemble" (Gramophone Magazine) the Kontras Quartet has become known for its vibrant and nuanced performances, “crisp precision" (Palm Beach Daily News), "superlative artistry" (CVNC Arts Journal), and a passion for exploring the folk roots of classical music. Kontras’s "enjoyable musical personality" (Fanfare Magazine) and welcoming, friendly approach to the recital stage have attracted audiences near and far for over fifteen years. Kontras means ‘contrasts’ in the Afrikaans language - fitting for a string ensemble whose colorful repertoire spans centuries, genres, and continents.
