EnsembleNewSRQ Launches New Season Next Month

ensembleNewSRQ (enSRQ), the innovative chamber music ensemble, launches its sixth season with a return to live performance in "Don't Look Down," featuring three works by three young American composers.

The concert features Yaz Lancaster's ethereal and reflective "Sequoia." Pianist Conor Hanick returns with the second-ever performance of Chris Cerrone's poignant work, "Don't Look Down," for percussion quartet and piano (named one of The New York Times' Best Pieces of 2020).

And, two years in the making, Max Grafe's "Shadow Theatre," composed specifically for enSRQ's artistic directors and founders, George Nickson and Samantha Bennett, and for pianist Hanick, will receive its world premiere.

The mainstage concert, which will also be live-streamed, is Monday, October 11, 8 p.m., at First Congregational Church, 1031 S. Euclid Ave., Sarasota.

Masks and social distancing will be required. Tickets are $25 for in-person single tickets; $10 for single concert streaming access; $115 for a membership that includes both live tickets and streaming access. More information on ticket packages, including student ticket pricing, is available at www.ensrq.org. See attached release.
