🎶 317 Main is ecstatic to be partnering with the Portland String Quartet to bring you a musical experience you won’t soon forget!
The Portland String Quartet has been a fixture of the Maine chamber music community since its inception in 1969. Throughout the past half-century, the PSQ has held residencies at institutions including Colby College and the University of Maine, recorded a voluminous discography, and toured and taught internationally - notably, fostering a close relationship with the Orquestra Juvenil Simon Bolivar, now known as El Sistema.
Now in its 56th season, the PSQ is still regarded as a premier classical music ensemble in Maine. With all current members having joined within the last five years, the PSQ is in a thrilling phase of growth and exploration, with each new member bringing their own unique style of artistry and expertise. Currently performing as a trio, the PSQ is delighted to be joined by a guest artist for this performance who will fill out the ranks for the traditional quartet experience.
The Quartet couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with 317 Main to present a program of vocal songs reimagined for strings, highlighting a range of songwriters, from Joni Mitchell to Hildegard von Bingen. Don’t miss this exciting event!
