BELLOWS FALLS — Stone Church Arts presents the Bohemian Quartet, performing classic gypsy music in concert, at Immanuel Episcopal Church, 20 Church St. on Saturday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m.
The Bohemian Quartet was formed in 2005. Violinist, Stan Renard, a composer and virtuoso player, assembled the group with the idea of preserving the tradition and indulging in the virtuosic playing of classic gypsy music.
Renard recruited like-minded friends: Dave Zinno on upright bass, Christine Harrington on cello, and Nancy Richardson on viola.
The Bohemian Quartet borrowed its name from a quartet formed more than 100 years ago in Czechoslovakia. That group, later called the Czech Quartet, ultimately disbanded in 1934.
“Beyond Tradition” is the quartet's newest recording.
The quartet was featured on the “One World Show,” which received an award for Best Music Documentary. “Beyond Tradition” also enjoyed three 2010 ballot placements by the Grammy Association.
