Playfully named after the Arneis grape—a varietal that is difficult to grow, but which yields an exquisite white wine— this emerging Boston-based quartet has been hand-picked by the St. Lawrence String Quartet for its inaugural John Lad Prize debut on our series. The program of “homage” works spans 200 years, with guests the SLSQ joining Arneis onstage in Osvaldo Golijov’s Last Round, honoring the iconic Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla.
