Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents The Dante Quartet in concert on Thursday, March 6, 2025.
One of the U.K.’s premier string ensembles, the Dante Quartet is known for its imaginative programming and impassioned performances.
For its Moss debut, the quartet is joined by Virginia Tech faculty member Brian Thorsett — an exceptional and versatile American tenor whose singing is often praised for its clarity, warmth, and expression — in the world premiere of a new work, a song cycle of American poetry for string quartet and voice, created for Thorsett and the Dante Quartet by British composer Ian Venables.
The evening also includes performances of two poignant, emotionally deep, and introspective works: Beethoven’s String Quartet in F Major, op. 135, and Elgar’s String Quartet in E minor, op. 83.
Adults tickets range from $20.00-$55.00 and tickets for Virginia Tech student tickets with ID and youth ages 18 & under are $10.00 each.
