Bohemian Quartet Concert & CD Release Celebration

Watching The Bohemian Quartet perform live is like listening to history
being preserved. In many ways, this gifted and exhilarating act is simply
keeping a rare musical flame alive by taking on the challenging oeuvre of the
Romany, or “gypsy” musical tradition. Those of you who’ve already seen their
show know how mesmerizing and captivating it can be. Those who’ve missed it
thus far are in for a treat!

To celebrate the release of their second CD, “Silhouette”, the Bohemian
Quartet will be performing on Thursday, December 5th at 7:30pm, at
the Columbus Theatre, 270 Broadway, Providence, RI.

The acclaimed ensemble featuring the violin, viola, cello,
and bass was formed in 2005. Violinist Stan Renard, a composer and virtuoso
player with an impressive list of credentials, assembled the group with the
idea of preserving the tradition and indulging in the virtuosic playing of
classic gypsy music. Renard recruited like-minded and ambitious friends:
Christine Harrington on cello, Nancy Richardson on viola, and Dave Zinno on
upright bass. Together, they are capable curators, tackling ancient traditions,
and still leaving room to wander off into newer, lovely, and more modern
directions.

So don’t hesitate to take advantage of this great musical
moment. Go to enjoy the historic traditions. Go to witness the musical
virtuosity. But above all, go to have a great time, listening to fine music.

This concert is made possible in part by a grant from the Rhode Island
State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General
Assembly and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
