Brevard Music Center First Mondays Concert

February 4 at 12:30 PM - The Brevard Music Center First Mondays Concert features the McIver Quartet.


McIver Quartet, the quartet of faculty members from UNC Greensboro, was formed in 2009 when the four string players came together to dedicate their time to a medium often thought to be the capstone experience of chamber music composition and performance. While the quartet is in its youth, the four members have extensive experience as members of small chamber ensembles. 

Members have played alongside the great musicians of our day, including the Tokyo, Guarnari, Emerson, and Cleveland String Quartets. They are dedicated to bringing diverse repertoire to the region and have plans to tour Spain and the Northeast United States, as well as join forces with Dmitri Sitkovetsky for a program of viola quintets in North Carolina. The group is also committed to outreach work and enjoys playing more casual performances for audiences of all ages.

The quartet has been featured on several concert series at UNC Greensboro, as well as the Sitkovetsky and Friends Chamber Series in association with the Greensboro Symphony. Members include:

Marjorie Bagley, violin
Fabián López, violin
Scott Rawls, viola
Alexander Ezerman, cello

The Program is:
TURINA La Oración del Torero, Op. 34
ARRIAGA String Quartet No. 3 in E flat major
PROKOFIEV String Quartet No. 2 in F Major, Op. 92 on Kabardinian Themes.

The Brevard Music Center First Mondays Conerts are held at Scott Concert Hall at the Porter Center of Brevard College, 1 Brevard College Drive  in Brevard NC.
