During the 4 p.m. hour, Deven Connelly joins for another edition of "The Month Ahead with Cornell Cooperative Extention" and then during the 5 p.m. hour, Jannina Norpoth from the group PUBLIQuartet joins to talks about the upcoming Benefit Performance for Clarion Concerts on June 14th in Ancramdale, NY. Applauded by The Washington Post as “a perfect encapsulation of today’s trends in chamber music,” and by The New Yorker as “independent-minded,” multi-GRAMMY®-nominated PUBLIQuartet is an improvising string quartet whose repertoire blends genres and highlights American multiculturalism. PUBLIQuartet rose on the music scene as winner of the 2013 Concert Artists Guild 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 newly commissioned pieces to re-imaginations of classical works featuring open-form improvisations that expand the techniques and aesthetic of the traditional string quartet.
