Verona Quartet
Free
Hear the Ragamala string quartet by the Indian American composer Reena Esmail, along with Wu Man's Glimpses of Muquam Chebayit, performed by the 2020 winners of the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award.
Reena Esmail based Ragamala on her experience studying Hindustani classical music in India on a Fulbright-Nehru grant. It will be played alongside Wu Man's Glimpses of Muquam Chebayit, which was inspired by traditional music in China, including Uyghur Maqam of Xinjiang province, a pipa scale from the ninth century, and the Silk-and-Bamboo music, or teahouse music, from the artist’s hometown of Hangzhou.
