Audiences listen with “sheer pleasure and feeling” to the concerti of French composer Emmanuel Séjourné (b. 1961). Brazilian Ney Rosauro's (b. 1952) “Concerto for Marimba” was composed in 1986 to advance the then new four-mallet technique, and has become the world's most performed marimba concerto. Debussy's Quartet helped set his new Impressionist style. The first of Mendelssohn's three Op.44 quartets, composed in the happy year after his wedding, was his personal favorite.

Mandelring Quartet's three siblings and their close friend have been playing music together for over 20 years. “Impeccable sense of style.” - N.Y. Times. “A performance that blazed with light and energy.” - Washington Post.

In the 1990s marimba virtuoso Dr. Katarzyna Mycka won numerous international competitions, and is now a guest soloist all over the world.

Pre-concert talk at 7:15pm by Mark Veregge.
