We will have some light refreshments on hand. There are also several hotels in the area if you prefer not to commute. \nThe deadline to apply is OCTOBER 20th\, 2025.  To apply\, send an email to dino@dapontequartet.org with your contact information\, instrument\, a short list of your chamber music experience (pieces you’ve played) and if applicable\, the other members of your group.  One person can submit a group application and serve as the main contact for that group. \nWhen you have confirmed your participation with Dino Liva\, please send a check or money order for the total amount to: DaPonte String Quartet Foundation\, PO Box 201\, Freeport\, ME 04032.

SUMMARY:DSQ: Beethoven & Korngold in Boothbay Harbor\, Aug 24\, 3 pm
DESCRIPTION:Join the DSQ for an evening of contrasts as they performs two great works. \nThe program includes the second of Beethoven’s “Razumovsky” quartets\, String Quartet in E minor\, Op 59 no 2\, a work that begins and ends in a stormy manner\, similar to the Appassionata Sonata for piano and written during the same period of Beethoven’s life. \nThe sunny and often humorous Korngold Second String Quartet is a work which seems to reflect a 20th century nostalgia for the “old world”\, including a Straussian waltz\, and bears glimpses of the great film scores Korngold goes on to write in Hollywood in the ’40s and ’50s. \n  \nMaine Public members enjoy a 15% discount on this concert! Simply enter the code ‘MainePublic15’ at checkout and remember to bring your membership card to the event.

SUMMARY:Gala Concert at Studzinski
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE. \nJoin us for this one of a kind\, gala celebration marking our 34th anniversary and the launch of our 3rd annual\, international DSQ Institute for advanced quartet studies.  The concert will present a thrilling collaboration between the DaPonte String Quartet and the renowned  pianist\, Christopher O’Riley (also a familiar voice as the former host of NPR’s From the Top) performing the piano quintets of Robert Schumann and Erich Korngold in the phenomenal acoustics of Bowdoin’s Studzinski Hall and will conclude with a meet-the-artists\, catered reception on site. \nWhen he wrote his quintet\, Korngold had yet to make his mark on the Hollywood film industry with soundtracks such as Errol Flynn’s Adventures of Robinhood. This remarkable\, youthfully exuberant work was composed long before he left Vienna.  Its monumental central Adagio is perhaps one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music ever written. \nSchumann’s brilliant masterwork is full of joy and excitement. One of his most celebrated compositions\, it was written in almost a frenzy of creativity\, and dedicated to his wife\, Clara Schumann\, one of the greatest pianists of the 19th century. \nWe can’t wait to share this incredible music and to mingle with all of you after the performance for some good cheer and yummy nibbles!  See you there! \n
