Lobster Cove String Quartet debuts at historic Annisquam venue
Gloucester, MA – The Lobster Cove String Quartet makes its debut
Saturday evening, September 16, 2023 at 7:30pm.
The white walls of the historic Annisquam Village Church will become
the canvas for a soundscape of swirling tone-colors, as the Gloucester-based
group presents To Paint the Night: a diverse bill of fare showcasing the richness
and versatility of the string quartet format.
The program opens with Astor Piazzolla’s fiery Four for Tango, before
probing the dark night of the soul which is Dmitri Shostakovich’s String
Quartet No. 8—dedicated by the composer “to the victims of fascism and
war.” Thelonious Monk’s ‘Round Midnight, newly arranged for quartet by
violinist and composer Scott Moore, is all blues and purples and grays:
lush, playful, and mysterious. The concert closes with the sensual
Impressionism of Claude Debussy’s radiant String Quartet in G minor.
The Lobster Cove String Quartet is the latest creation of Scott Moore, Artist-in-
Residence at the Annisquam Village Church. Moore is joined by members
Erica Pisaturo (violin), Brandon White (viola), and Alex Fowler (cello).
Admission is by donation ($35 suggested), and a reception with the artists
will follow the performance.
