SF Performances Presents: Catalyst Quartet with Stewart Goodyear
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The renowned Catalyst Quartet brings to a broader audience works from the African American tradition of chamber music-composers whom history has overlooked due to their race or gender. This first of four performances includes guest artist and pianist Stewart Goodyear.
The Catalyst Quartet has a bold and compelling mission: "We believe in the unity that can be achieved through music and imagine our programs and projects with this in mind." The New York Times summed up their artistry: "beautiful to watch, like a family in lively conversation at the dinner table: anticipating, interrupting, changing subjects." Pianist Stewart Goodyear is a perfect match for the Catalyst, "one of the best pianists of his generation" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Proclaimed a "phenomenon" by the Los Angeles Times and "one of the best pianists of his generation" by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Stewart Goodyear is an accomplished young pianist as a concerto soloist, chamber musician, recitalist and composer. Known as an improviser and composer, he has been commissioned by orchestras and chamber music organizations, and performs his own solo works.
The program will include:
GEORGE WALKER: String Quartet No. 1 "Lyric"
SAMUEL COLERIDGE TAYLOR: Five Fantasiestucke for String Quartet and Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 1
$65/$55/$45.
Presented by San Francisco Performances
