To kick off the new year, the Spokane String Quartet is performing various works by prolific composers for its next concert program. The group formed in 1979, and since then it’s been one of the only regularly performing chamber ensembles in Spokane. The quartet next will be performing a piece by Florence Price, the first Black woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, as well as pieces from Ludwig van Beethoven and Felix Mendelssohn. The four musicians are joined on stage by Central Washington University cello professor John Michel, who also is one of the founders of Central Washington University’s resident ensemble, the Kairos String Quartet.
