Part II of a three-part concert mini-series, From Grieg to Gershwin, the Seattle-Bergen String Quartet will perform quartets by Grieg, Grainger, Gershwin, and Montgomery. They will explore the musical folk identity expressed through the composer’s music, from Norwegian folk dances, to Irish folk dances, to a lullaby, and finally, the uniquely modern American experience.
