Jasper String Quartet August 4, 2011

The first quartet ever to be invited to extend their Caramoor residency to a second year, the Jasper String Quartet returns with yet another distinctively formidable program that situates Aaron Jay Kernis's musica celestis between its source—Schubert's Death and the Maiden—and the world premiere by one of his protégés—Andrew Norman. Spanish Courtyard.
