Artistic Director Susan Pardue believes the upcoming season will be especially unique because of the pairings of known composers with music that may be new to the audience. “I’m excited about the pairings,” she said. “When I hear music I find intriguing I always check to see if the composer has written a quartet.”
The June 7th concert will be a celebration. It’s the 250th birthday of Beethoven and 100 years since women in the U.S. got the vote. FCMP will be playing Caroline Shaw’s Blueprint. It will be the first piece from a female composer played by the group. Shaw is a New York-based violinist and vocalist who won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013. Also part of this concert I Haydn’s String Quartet in G Major, Opus 76, No. 1 and Beethoven’s String Quartet Opus 18, No. 6.
“I want our audience to feel the music’s magnetism like the musicians do,” said Pardue. “For us, we can’t live without the music.”
Florida Chamber Music Project was founded seven years ago. Violist Susan Pardue serves as the Artistic Director. Joining her are violinists Patrice Evans, Anna Genest and Annie Hertler and cellist Laurie Casseday. All are members of the Jacksonville Symphony.
