Earlier this month, we took part in a residency at the University of Iowa, as part of their vibrant new String Quartet Residency Program. (http://music.uiowa.edu/resources/ui-string-quartet-residency-program) The week was full of diverse activities – as a quartet we coached chamber music, met with students to discuss projects, and played a traditional recital program. This program is run very creatively, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary work - so we were also able to bring along Team Crossroads: physicist Robert Davies and composer Laura Kaminsky. We had a series of lively Crossroads Project events, including a performance in the beautiful LEED-certified School of Public Health building, class visits, panel discussions, and a university-sponsored television program. Watch our discussion on WorldCanvass and see us perform movements from Laura’s quartet “Rising Tide” below:
