Palaver Strings: Rise and Shine

Palaver Strings presents “Rise and Shine,” celebrating the versatility and power of the viola, the unsung heartbeat and sonic glue of much of the chamber music we love.

This unusual program explores the sonic possibilities of that elusive middle voice, through 20th-century viola quartets by Kenji Bunch and York Bowen, as well as new folk arrangements by Palaver violists Elizabeth Moore and Lysander Jaffe. They will be joined by special guest violists Sam Kelder and Sergio Munoz.
