Show for Jan 23, 2011: The Real Vocal String Quartet
They play, they sing and make beguiling, original and uncategorizable music. I visited the quartet in their Berkeley practice studio for some conversation and a live recital. In the first part of the program, RVSQ founder and violinist Irene Sazer and violist Dina Maccabee discuss the ensemble’s wide-ranging influences (classical is just the start), their distinctive sound and special chemistry as we listen to tracks from their recent CD. Then, Irene and Dina are joined by the group’s other half, violinist Alisa Rose and cellist Jessica Ivry, to perform some lovely new pieces they’re working on.
