Pro Arte Quartet Concert Sept. 22

Midsummer’s Music presents the Pro Arte Quartet on Sept. 22 at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor. This event marks the sixth concert Midsummer’s Music is hosting in the exceptional space on Church Street.

The evening’s repertoire features Joseph Haydn’s Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 76, No. 4 (“Sunrise Quartet”), Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 7, Op. 108, and Beethoven’s Quartet No. 15 in A-Minor, Op. 132.

The Pro Arte Quartet is believed to be the world’s oldest continuously performing string quartet and the first quartet anywhere to enjoy a university ensemble-in-residence status. Current musicians in the Pro Arte Quartet are violinists Suzanne Beia and David Perry, violist Sally Chisholm and cellist Parry Karp.

According to Midsummer’s Music President and co-founder Jim Berkenstock, “The Pro Arte musicians are masterful, energetic performers who exemplify both warmth and precision through their impressive skills. Listeners can become thoroughly engrossed in the ensemble’s beautiful, intense and passionate music.”

The Pro Arte Quartet concert begins at 7 pm. Adult tickets are $29, students $10, and children 12 are under free. A reception for the audience to meet and mingle with the musicians follows the program.
