Featured pieces will include Russian legend Piotr Tchaikovsky's beloved first string quartet, American innovator William Grant Still's toe-tapping Danzas de Panama, Italian opera master Giacomo Puccini's heart-wrenching I Crisantemi, and Spanish composer Joaquin Joaquin thrilling tale of The Bullfighter's Prayer. Closing the evening is the brilliant Russian composer Alexander Borodin's Nocturne from his String Quartet No. 2.

Romantic Strings is presented as a part of North Shore Center's Out Back Summer Sessions, a series hosted in the venue's 31,000 square-foot parking lot. Patrons can purchase 2-6 tickets, and will be assigned a section of the parking lot by the North Shore Center box office to ensure proper distancing. Masks are required.
