Friends of Chamber Music is one of just a handful of presenters (including Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, Shriver Hall Concert Series, and Banff International String Quartet Competition) to provide this inside look at the life of a young touring string quartet. We present this free community event as part of our continued effort to bridge the gap between musicians and audiences. This is your opportunity to learn about the Dover String Quartet before you see them in concert in Page Hall in November!
Strings Attached - on the Road with the Dover Quartet
Four kids in music school with big dreams form a string quartet. Riding their enthusiasm, ambition and unbelievable talent, they rocket to international renown in the classical music world and become The Dover Quartet. In the documentary, Strings Attached, you are right there with them, on and off stage, as they meet and decide to throw in their lot together, as they explode onto the scene by sweeping the most prestigious international string quartet competition, and as they are suddenly circling the globe to meet the demand for their performances. You are with them too, as they try to deal with the cost to their personal lives. Will the endless days and nights on the road, the cheap hotels and the internal conflicts overwhelm their love of the music? Or will the music win?
---- Bruce Broder, Director
