Program
As NEC's string quartet in residence, the Borromeo Quartet offers listeners a peek under the hood, and a prelude to their upcoming performance of the Complete Bartok Quartets.
They will discuss and play excerpts from the composer's manuscripts, which they project on their laptop "music stands."
Enjoy fascinating conversation about Bartok's composing methods, his first and subsequent thoughts about particular passages, and what constitutes a definitive version of musical works.
