We are back in the City That Made Beer Famous for the Unruly Music Festival, a stronghold of weird and wonderful contemporary music in the Midwest. The music of Beat Furrer is inexplicably underplayed in the US, so we're chomping at the bit to bring his String Quartet No. 3, as well as our new commission from Hans Thomalla, titled Bagatellen for String Quartet, to this path-carving series.
The Spektral Quartet residency at UW-Milwaukee is supported by William F. Vilas Trust Fund
Bagatellen by Hans Thomalla was commissioned by Spektral Quartet and funded by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. Additional project support from Goethe-Institut Chicago.
