Rastrelli Cello Quartet in Concert at Brookhaven Lab, November 2
October 7, 2005
UPTON, NY - The Rastrelli Quartet will give a concert at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory on Wednesday, November 2, at noon in Berkner Hall Auditorium. Sponsored by Brookhaven Science Associates, the company that manages Brookhaven Lab, the concert is free and open to the public. All visitors to the Laboratory age 16 and over must bring a photo ID.
Founded in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2002, the Rastrelli Cello Quartet intentionally omits any pieces composed especially for the cello from their repertoire, instead playing a variety of music - including classical, pop, and jazz - that expand the cello's sound. Three of the four musicians were trained in St. Petersburg, Russia, and two are members of the famous Wuertemberg Chamber Orchestra. The quartet's artists hold an impressive collection of international competition prizes among them, and they have had two CDs released by the German label Arc Verona, with releases in Russia by the Manchester label.
Call 631 344-2345 for more information about the concert. The Laboratory is located on William Floyd Parkway (County Road 46), one-and-a-half miles north of Exit 68 of the Long Island Expressway.
