  • PUBLIQuartet

    Applauded by The Washington Post as “a perfect encapsulation of today’s trends in chamber music,” and by The New Yorker as “independent-minded,” the GRAMMY-nominated PUBLIQuartet’s modern interpretation of chamber music makes them one of the most dynamic artists of their generation.  Dedicated to presenting new works for string quartet, PUBLIQuartet rose on the music scene as winner of the 2013 Concert Artists Guild’s New Music/New Places award, and in 2019 garnered Chamber Music America’s prestigious Visionary Award for outstanding and innovative approaches to contemporary classical, jazz, and world chamber music.  PQ’s genre-bending programs range from 20th century masterworks to newly commissioned pieces, alongside re-imaginations of classical works featuring open-form improvisations that expand the techniques and aesthetic of the traditional string quartet.

  • Memphis Symphony Orchestra: SCHUBERT THE GREAT C MAJOR

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    The Vibrancy of Youth - Schubert’s “Great C Major” Symphony would not be heard for another ten years after the young 31 year old’s tragic death. The vibrant contemporary composer, Jessie Montgomery, brings her ecstatic work for string orchestra, “Strum”. Jonathan Oksenuik garnered 10 million views as a toddler conducting Beethoven Symphony. Now a young teenager, he joins MSO to perform Mozart’s Fourth Violin Concerto.

  • Mike Dowling

    Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Mike digs deep into the musical bag of American roots guitar, favoring the melodic Piedmont style of acoustic blues masters like Mississippi John Hurt and slide great Tampa Red. But Mike can’t be pigeonholed as a blues player, or even as a fingerstylist. He’s far too versatile for that. From bottleneck blues to vintage jazz and much more in between, Mike’s musicality, depth, and mastery of the instrument translates fluently to flattop, archtop, and resonator guitars alike.
