Extended by popular demand until May 8: Alexander SQ performs Haydn
Baruch PAC and Alexander String Quartet
Stream from home
Haydn's Seven Last Words of Christ and documentary film "Con Moto"
Extended by popular demand until May 8
As we navigate these unprecedented times, Baruch Performing Arts Center has created a unique program of music, film, and discourse featuring the Alexander String Quartet, Baruch's string quartet-in-residence since 1986.
BPAC presents streaming audio and video of Alexander String Quartet’s special performance recorded this past week for BPAC of Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ. Aldemaro Romero Jr., Dean of the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences at Baruch College, welcomes the viewers and introduces the music and the performers.
The Quartet's interpretation of Haydn's intimate work intersperses the music with readings that are meditations on the subject of human suffering, redemption and renewal. Performing it “together,” albeit from their respective homes while observing social distancing protocols, the quartet brings this emotionally-rich work to viewers, offering both depth and comfort in difficult times. The performance was recorded expressly for this specially-streamed presentation.
