Palaver Strings' Beehive Chamber Series presents "Nightingale in a Tree," Friday, Feb. 2, at 7 p.m. at the Brattleboro Music Center (BMC).
Palaver Strings welcomes Fredy Clue, a nyckelharpa player, composer, and multi-instrumentalist from Sweden. Clue says their music takes inspiration from the forests, oceans, birds, and animals alike.
Joined by Maine's Jamie Oshima, a guitarist, Palaver Strings will premiere Clue's new arrangements for nyckelharpa and strings. It will pair Clue's music with Philip Glass's String Quartet No. 4, written in memory of avant-garde artist Brian Buczak. "This three-movement work combines undulating arpeggios, soaring melodies, and rich harmonies to create a deep-rooted, whole-body experience," say organizers.
Other performers will be Maya French and Katie Knudsvig, violins; Elizabeth Moore, viola; and Timothy Paek, cello.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. They may be purchased through bmcvt.org, by calling 802-257-4523, or by emailing info@bmcvt.org.
