A Radical Welcome - An Afternoon of 3 Quintets

Sunday, March 22nd at 3pm

A Radical Welcome, presented by the Boston Public Quartet

Strand Theatre - 543 Columbia Rd, Dorchester, MA 02125

Join us for our 3rd Annual: A Radical Welcome at the Strand Theater.

The Boston Public Quartet (BPQ) will present their third annual A Radical Welcome concert at 3 pm on Sunday, March 22nd at the Strand Theatre, with a set of three of quintets written by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Amy Beach, and Somerville-based composer Melika M. Fitzhugh, and featuring guest artists Steph Davis (marimba) and Eric Thomas (clarinet).

For nineteen years, BPQ has been presenting concerts centered in the audience experience. Boston Public Quartet was created to connect, inspire and innovate as an ensemble-in-residence in Boston’s diverse neighborhoods and is dedicated to normalizing the amplification of historically excluded voices. At the core of this program are three pieces written for string quartet plus a changing fifth instrument. Each of these pieces explores the variety of range, rhythm, and colors that five performers can create. The event will allow Boston residents who typically do not have access to classical music to experience a diverse and affordable concert program, walk away with the knowledge of three underplayed pieces from three underplayed composers, as well as a handmade memento from the concert.

Thanks to funding from the City of Boston and the historic Strand Theatre, admission is free. To support future programming, please consider a donation through our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas, to make a tax-deductable contribution.
