Carpe Diem String Quartet will play March 8 at 7:30 p.m.
Carpe Diem String Quartet to perform
America’s premiere “indie” ensemble, Carpe Diem String Quartet, will share their acclaimed innovation at the Griffin Auditorium on Thursday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets for the performance are $20 with all minor children accompanying a paid adult admitted free.
"Having seen Carpe Diem perform at Live on Stage in Nashville, I can't wait to see them in concert in Griffin," said Lewis Brewer of Pike County. "Carpe Diem is not your typical string quartet. They are a string quartet that rocks!"
Defying classification, Columbus, OH based Carpe Diem String Quartet has earned critical acclaim for their genre-busting concerts, demonstrating their relative ease with classic quartet literature as well as gypsy, tango, folk, pop and jazz idioms. Carpe Diem is currently in the process of recording the nine string quartets of Sergey Taneyev for Naxos.
The quartet has dedicated itself to student outreach, establishing two successful education programs in central Ohio, “Connecting with Kids” - tying music to school curriculum, and “Music & Letters” - combining correspondence by famous composers with related pieces. The group's vision extends to a complete revitalization of the Chamber Music experience including thematic concerts, visual media and technology and programs featuring living composers.
The Griffin Area Concert Association, including several members from Pike and Lamar counties, has been presenting nationally acclaimed performers to the community since the late 1970s. This all-volunteer nonprofit organization is committed to enriching the cultural life of the Griffin-Spalding County area through live performances. Thanks to the generosity of Patrons and Sponsors, these concerts can be offered at affordable, family friendly prices. The GACA also is proud to sponsor an annual outreach to local students featuring an artist in the current series.
Tickets for the Carpe Diem String Quartet concert may be purchased at the Griffin – Spalding Chamber of Commerce, Reeves Cleaners, The Tiger Lily, Artistic Flowers, the main office of First National Bank, the amenities center at Sun City Peachtree or by sending a check to 1131 Skyline Drive, Griffin 30224.
