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.

The sublime interaction of dance and live music is the subject of this evening of works by legendary choreographer Bill T. Jones.

The program highlights such classics as D-Man in the Waters (1989) and Spent Days Out Yonder (2001), set to masterworks by Mendelssohn, Mozart, and a new piece by Jerome Begin, all played by Boston’s Borromeo String Quartet (“drama, intensity, passion, delicacy”—The Berkshire Review).

Program contains intervals of full nudity.
