Celebrate the arrival of Spring with two monumental works in this unique program- Beethoven’s glorious “Spring Sonata” and Stravinsky’s earth-shaking “Rite of Spring” with Festival favorites David (violin) & Julie (piano) Coucheron and Elizabeth Pridgen, pianist. 

Internationally recognized as one of the world's finest quartets, the American String Quartet has spent decades honing the luxurious sound for which it is famous. The Quartet celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2019, and, in its years of touring, has performed in all fifty states and has appeared in the most important concert halls worldwide.

AICMF’s 24th season comes to an exciting end with our annual Christopher Rex String Seminar, bringing together two rising star young quartets- our Beth Newdome Fellows- with the distinguished American String Quartet for a week of coachings, community outreach activities, and public concerts.
