\n\nThis unusual and exciting program presented by the Overlook Quartet opens with the dazzling work by Gabriela Smith. \; She refers to a Cé\;zanne quote: &ldquo\;The day will come when a single\, freshly observed carrot will start a revolution.&rdquo\; Gabriela decided immediately to call her piece Carrot Revolution. She envisioned the piece as a celebration of that spirit of fresh observation and of new ways of looking at old things\, such as the string quartet &ndash\; a 250-year-old genre &ndash\; as well as some of older musical influences (Bach\, Perotin\, Gregorian chant\, Georgian folk songs\, and Celtic fiddle tunes). \; The program'\;s closing piece\, Jamaican composer Eleonor Alberga'\;s String Quartet n. 2\, takes listeners on an emotional journey through her creative mind and the cohesive\, dynamic art of the string quartet.
\n\nThis program features the storyteller Tanya Birl-Torres along with the Overlook Quartet for an exploration of ancestral storytelling\, and the cultural and artistic knowledge shared through oral traditions\, a reading of a new folktale\, and an activity including the audience to foster a deeper community connection and add to the sensory experience. \;
