Alexander String Quartet with Robert Greenberg

The Alexander String Quartet and Robert Greenberg look back 100 years to the tumultuous social and political era of the early 20th century—times not unlike our own—and explore enduring works of the great music it produced.

Programs will include works by Debussy, Ravel, Webern, Schoenberg, Sibelius, and Nielsen.
