Catena String Quartet, having struck chords in prestigious venues and for esteemed audiences, now brings their love for chamber music to our quaint town. Originating from Minneapolis and formed in 2022, Catena embodies a unique narrative of musical camaraderie. Their name, Catena—a Latin term denoting "a connected series or chain," reflects their journey of discovering unknown connections amongst themselves. With early influences stemming from folk tunes reimagined by the Danish String Quartet, their repertoire exudes a classical elegance intertwined with folkloric charm.
As you nestle into the serene ambiance of the art center, allow the harmonious strains of Catena's strings to narrate stories, blending classical elegance with folkloric charm. Wander through the art gallery before and after the concert, engaging with visual stories that complement the morning's auditory narrative.
