The fourth annual festival is comprised of two 7PM concerts over two days at the Greenwich House Music School in lower Manhattan.
Called an ensemble that "works comfortably at the intersection of post-minimalist classical composition and post-bop jazz" by the Detroit Free Press, Sirius Quartet is known for visceral compositions and arrangements that provide ample space for improvisation. With the Progressive Chamber Music Festival, the quartet invites similarly free-spirited and tough-to-pin down artists to lead audiences down a path of exploration.October 10-11, 2019
