Some strings attached

Concertmaster Casey Bozell

The Newport Symphony will hold its first performance of the season this Saturday, Sept. 26, offering an intimate online get-together with Music Director Adam Flatt and members of the Newport Symphony Element String Quartet.

Quartet members Casey Bozell, Irene Gadeholt, Shauna Keyes and Barbara Johnston promise a memorable evening of music by Debussy and Pulitzer Prize-winning Black American composer George Walker.

“We are so excited to do this,” Bozell said. “And so, the repertoire that we have for you for this concert is full of great energy and emotion.”

After the performance, Flatt and the quartet will join their online audience for a discussion of the pieces.

“Keeping with our pattern established over many years, we proudly offer events,” Flatt said. “We will adapt to the conditions as they present themselves over the next months, hoping to be back on stage as soon as possible, but are ready to present beautiful concerts online.”

Tickets, $25, provide a link to the online event. There is no limit to the number of people watching when connecting with one device.
