THE TRADITION CONTINUES…

After the Vermeer Quartet retired from the concert stage at the end of 2007, the University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Chapel asked their violist, Richard Young, to continue to organize annual presentations of The Seven Last Words of Christ. Having produced all the Vermeer’s performances of this work since 1988, Mr. Young has chosen an approach that maintains continuity, yet also reaches out in new directions. He and Vermeer 2^nd violinist, Mathias Tacke, will perform their familiar inner-voice roles in a string quartet that will also include two extraordinary young women: 1^st violinist Rachel Barton Pine and cellist Wendy Warner.
