Carnegie Hall

“One of the greatest quartets of the last 100 years” (BBC Music Magazine) performs in Carnegie Hall’s most transformative space. Dvořák’s “American” Quartet, written shortly after his “New World” Symphony, highlights the enormous impact Indigenous music and African American spirituals had on the composer while he lived in the US. The Dover Quartet puts this seminal work in context with the New York premieres of Jerod Impichcha̲achaaha' Tate’s Woodland Songs (a recent “Premiere of the Month” in The Strad); and Tate’s orchestration of Rattle Songs by Pura Fé, which Fé originally composed for the ensemble Ulali. “My native music is what it is because of [Ulali],” Tate told The Strad, and Rattle Songs is “the most influential piece in my life.”
