Artistic Director's Message
Hello, and welcome to the website for The Countertop Quartet.
This year, The Countertop Quartet will be exploring music of the
Italian, French and English Baroque and Renaissance. We will be
performing new programs of Early to Modern French Repertoire,
as well as Italian works, especially a program by Monteverdi and
his contemporaries.
This year, we are preparing our exciting 'Modern Voices' program
(in March), featuring music written for the quartet as well as other
contemporary work. April, sees us singing up in Baltimore, our
program featuring music 'written in praise of women'. We'll also
be singing in Jamestown, VA, to commemorate the German Landing
in VA in 1608. This is being funded by the German Embassy.
Finally, we will be singing in the Washington Early Music Festival in June. This will be an
all-German concert, featuring music written between 1200-1650 by German compsers
Have a look at our first CD, Seraphic Flames, currently available for sale here online. You
can also buy individual tracks via CD-Baby, by clicking here.
As part as our ongoing commitment to education and as a way to encourage our young
friends to attend more classical concerts, we are offering children 17 & under free
admission into all Countertop Quartet concerts.
Enjoy the season, and thank you for taking an interest in the quartet.
