First Tuesday Concert Series presents Eykamp String Quartet
Published: October 27, 2009
This Tuesday, start your November on the right note with the Eykamp String Quartet, performing as part of the University of Evansville’s First Tuesday Concert Series.
On Tuesday, November 3, the UE Department of Music faculty presents the Eykamp String Quartet at 7:30 p.m. in Wheeler Concert Hall, on the University of Evansville campus. The group – comprised of violinist Gared Crawford, violinist Jung-Min Shin, violist Craig Bate, and cellist Kevin Bate – will perform works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Samuel Barber, and Bela Bartok.
The performance is free, and open to the public.
“Each year, the Eykamp String Quartet performs as part of the First Tuesday Concert Series, and each year, they somehow improve upon the previous,” said William Bootz, chair of UE’s Department of Music. “So I think we’re all in for a treat this year – especially when I consider the program they have selected, which consists of three very, very strong pieces for a string quartet.
“I’m looking forward to hearing what the Eykamp String Quartet can do with this terrific program!”
The Eykamp String Quartet is the third performance in this year’s First Tuesday Concert Series, presented by the University of Evansville Department of Music. This year’s remaining First Tuesday Concert Series schedule is as follows:
