Ciompi Quartet and Friends | ‘Appalachian Spring’

Few works capture the spirit of American music like Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring.” Ciompi Quartet presents the suite in its original chamber scoring for 13 instruments, revealing the clarity and intimacy of Copland’s music.

The program also includes Stephen Jaffe’s “Inscriptions” for flute, bassoon and strings, alongside Osvaldo Golijov’s “Last Round,” a powerful string work inspired by the passion and pulse of Argentine tango.

The Ciompi Quartet joins forces with guest musicians from the Durham Fellows Quartet and faculty from the University of South Carolina School of Music for this special program.
