Newport Classical: Opening Night with Poiesis Quartet

Newport Classical opens its 2025-26 Chamber Series with the Poiesis Quartet, lauded as "an ensemble to watch" (Hyde Park Herald) and the Grand Prize winner of the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. The concert begins with Beethoven's radiant Op. 59 No. 3, an energetic and expressive work that sets the tone for an evening of dynamic contrasts. The program also features bold contemporary works including Kevin Lau's String Quartet No. 7, commissioned by the ensemble, alongside recent works by Brian Raphael Nabors and Sky Macklay. The concert ends with Calvary, a powerful arrangement of an African American spiritual, and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson's String Quartet No. 1, which draws inspiration from the same melody in a work that fuses classical form with spiritual roots.

Newport Classical's Chamber Series takes place at Newport Classical Recital Hall in downtown Newport, known for its striking architecture and excellent acoustics. The Chamber Series reaffirms Newport Classical's commitment to year-round classical music programming. Audiences are invited to enjoy performances by world-class classical musicians in a relaxed setting, with a complimentary glass of wine from Gold's Wine and Spirits.
