Concerts International's chamber music season continues Tuesday February 27th at 7:30 pm at Harris Concert Hall with the Brentano String Quartet. Since its inception in 1992, the Brentano String Quartet has appeared throughout the world to popular and critical acclaim. “Passionate, uninhibited and spellbinding,” raves the London Independent; the New York Times extols its “luxuriously warm sound [and] yearning lyricism.”

Darel Snodgrass talks with founding violinist Serena Canin about the program, featuring 3 iconic works of the string quartet repertoire, as well as the genesis of the ensemble. The Brentano Quartet's performance will be broadcast live on WKNO-FM. Brentano Quartet concert page for 2/27/2024 Memphis concert in Harris Hall presented by Concerts International. (cimemphis.org)

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
