DESCRIPTION:Event Name: The Borromeo String Quartet\nEvent Url: http://www.

 ate Begin: 2012-02-26\nEvent Date End: 2012-02-26\n\nConsidered 'simply th
 e best there is' by The Boston Globe\, the Borromeo String Quartet is one 
 of the most sought-after string quartets in the world\, each season perfor
 ming more than one hundred concerts of classical and contemporary literatu
 re across three continents.\n\nThe program will open with a Boston premier
 e of a String Quartet written for the Borromeo Quartet by composer and NEC
  alumnus Mohammed Fairouz.  This work\, Chorale Fantasy is in the form of 
 a chorale prelude and uses traditional counterpoint in the manner of Bach 
 as well as singing styles from the middle east.\n\nOboist Elizabeth O'Neil
  will then join the Borromeo Quartet for Benjamin Britten's 'Phantasy' Qua
 rtet.  Benjamin Britten creates such a particular sound world - though the
  feeling for the listener is not of listening to a 'modern' composition\, 
 the level of inventiveness of the sonorities is truly stunning.\n\nEmely P
 helps will join the Borromeo for Dvorak's Piano Quintet in A\, Op. 81. The
  Borromeo will be joined by Ari Isaacman-Beck and Rhiannon Banerdt\, Violi
 ns\, Wenting Kang\, Viola and Gwen Kronsick\, Cello for Mendelssohn's Octe
 t\, Op. 20.  Though these works have very different flavors\, they both ca
 pture a mixture of exuberant virtuosity and emotional power that means the
 y have been loved by generation upon generation of players and audiences\,
  and indeed they define in no small way what we all come to think of as a 
 masterpiece of chamber music.\n\nStart time: 8 PM
