Up Next: NSO Concertmaster Quartet
September 28

Want more music? Rapport between artists and audience is at the heart of the chamber music experience. Be a part of it - and hear more!

The first concert of the season is Sunday, September 28. Get in the mood for Dvorak’s New World Symphony by coming to hear his "American" String Quartet, written during a summer spent in Spillville, Iowa. Dvorak’s contemporary, New England composer George Whitefield Chadwick, will also be featured, with his String Quartet No. 4. The performance will be led by NSO Concertmaster Elliott Markow, with introductory remarks on the program from NSA Executive Director Eric Valliere.

These concerts are made possible by the generous support of Rivier College.

TICKETS: $15 adults; $10 seniors and students; FREE with Rivier College I.D. Contact us to reserve your seats.
