Tasman String Quartet and Auburn Music Faculty Collaborative Concert

The Tasman String Quartet will perform with Auburn University Department of Music faculty in a collaborative concert on Monday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Goodwin Music Building Recital Hall. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Tasman String Quartet is composed of two violinists, Anna van der Zee and Jennifer Banks, violist Christiaan van der Zee and cellist Miranda Wilson. For Monday's concert, they will be accompanied by three assistant professors in the CLA's Department of Music: Michael Koon, baritone; David Odom, clarinet; and Jeremy Samolesky, piano.

The  program includes Samuel Barber's "Dover Beach," Dimitri Shostakovich's "Piano Quintet, Op. 57" and Brahms' "Clarinet Quintet in B Minor, Op. 115."



Since February 15, the Tasman String Quartet has been on campus as part of a month-long residency in the CLA's Department of Music. The New Zealand-based group has been traveling through Alabama, performing for communities, giving workshops at schools and playing for undergraduate music, art and English classes at Auburn. Monday evening's concert is the quartet's final performance at Auburn.

The residency is the first of its kind at Auburn University, and is sponsored under the auspices of music professor Dr. Howard Goldstein, who is the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities 2009 Breeden Eminent Scholar.
