The Charleston Symphony is pleased to present an intimate string quartet performance at Brookgreen Gardens, featuring a thoughtfully curated program spanning from the two centuries of music. From the elegance of Mozart and lyricism of Mendelssohn to the distinctly American voices of Samuel Barber, Carlos Simon, and Antonin Dvořák, the program showcases the remarkable range, warmth, and expressive power of the string quartet.
