Hickory, – The Western Piedmont Symphony (WPS) presents the classical ensemble the Kontras Quartet on its next Chamber Classics concert on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. at the Drendel Auditorium at the S.A.L.T. Block, Hickory.
Quartet will perform at a mixed variety of community events at several elementary schools, public libraries, and senior living communities in Caldwell, Catawba, and Iredell counties.
Based in Chicago, the Kontras Quartet has established an international following for their vibrant and nuanced performances. Lauded as “one of the most promising young quartets -technically excellent and musically compelling,” the Kontras Quartet is a brilliant and invigorating string quartet whose members hail from across the world. Kontras means “contrasts” in the Afrikaans language – fitting for a string ensemble whose colorful repertoire spans centuries, genres, and continents.
