For the past 38 years, Summer Music from Greensboro has presented a diverse range of music performed by accomplished musicians from the United States and abroad for the enjoyment of the greater Greensboro community—and we shall do so again this summer. Our mission, as always, is to offer exceptional music to an audience of all ages, both summer visitors and year-round residents.
Our summer concert series opens on Tuesday evening, July 16th, with the all-cello Rastrelli Cello Quartet from Germany, which has achieved international renown for its non-traditional live concert performances mixing classical, jazz and popular music.Whether you prefer the music of Brahms, Bartok or the Beatles, this concert will be distinctly enjoyable!
Described by Bostonian Magazine as “one of the nation’s finest chamber ensembles”, the Beacon Brass Quintet was the first brass group ever to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild Award and is acclaimed for its musicianship across the wide spectrum of music for brass ensemble.
SMfG and the Highland Center for the Arts are partnering to co-present, in the main theater at the Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro, a concert with broad appeal for the greater Greensboro community. The concert will feature Chris Brubeck and his band, Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play, performing an entertaining mix of jazz, folk and blues.
By popular demand and for an unprecedented third consecutive summer, SMfG will present The Telegraph Quartet from the Bay Area. The quartet – the 2016 winner of one of classical music’s most prized awards, the Naumberg Chamber Music Award – has developed a devoted audience in Greensboro for its superb performances. Not to be missed!
SMfG is honored to present Tobias Steymans, the concert master and lead violinist of one of the world’s greatest orchestras, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (rated by Gramophone Magazine as one of the 10 best orchestras in the world). Mr. Steymans will perform with guest accompanist Victoria Schwartzman, a classical pianist who appears regularly on stage throughout the United States as a soloist and chamber musician.
One of Britain’s finest young string quartets, The Maxwell Quartet from Scotland has earned widespread recognition and praise for its impassioned, exhilarating performances of classical music and Scottish folk tunes. This concert should provide a memorable finale to SMfG’s 2019 summer concert series.
