Antares Quartet to conclude Grey Towers musical season

MILFORD, PA — The Antares Quartet concert will perform at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 16 in the Great Hall at Grey Towers National Historic Site. Seating for this award-winning performance is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased at Grey Towers.

Comprised of four virtuoso instrumentalists, Antares draws from a vast repertoire for violin, cello, piano and clarinet, as well as the various trio and duo permutations for those instruments. This versatility allows Antares to create programs that span the traditional eras of classical music from the 18th century through the music of today.

Hailed by The Chicago Tribune as “powerful…striking...razor-sharp,” Antares’s high energy performance style and unique ensemble dynamic led to the quartet’s selection as first prize winner of the 2002 Concert Artists Guild International Competition.

The September concert wraps up the 2006 Kindred Spirits Music Series at Grey Towers, a program of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Conservation and Arts Program.
