JACK Quartet to Perform at Hartt, 10/16

The University of Hartford's Hartt School presents the electrifying NYC-based JACK Quartet, on October 16, 2014, at 7:30 p.m., in Millard Auditorium, University of Hartford, 200 Bloomfield Avenue, West Hartford. JACK Quartet has been earning rave reviews all over the world, and their performance kicks off the sixth spectacular season of the Richard P. Garmany Chamber Music Series. The Series continues on November 20, with the L.A.-based Calder Quartet, one of the most distinguished and versatile string quartets of our time. On February 5, 2015, the mesmerizing mixed vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth, which recently won the Grammy Award for Best Small Ensemble, performs. The Garmany season concludes on April 23, 2015, with the one-of-a-kind music cooperative International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), which plays everything from Vivaldi and Beethoven to music written by the most celebrated living composers.

In just five seasons, with support from subscribers, patrons, and the Richard P. Garmany Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, the Garmany Series has established itself as one of Hartford's premier cultural attractions, and the concerts now routinely play to full houses.

Series subscriptions are $120 for adults; $100 each for seniors/faculty/UHart alumni; and $75 for students/groups of 10+. Individual concert tickets are $35 each for adults; $30 each for seniors/faculty/UHart alumni; and $25 each for students/groups of 10+.
