Members of the Carpe Diem String Quartet, Sam Weiser, Marisa Ishikawa, Korine Fujiwara, and Ariana Nelson, spoke about their upcoming concert at The Frick Pittsburgh on October 19th, at 7 pm at the Frick Auditorium. This special night highlights the fusion of Islamic Art and Music across the ages as The Frick's latest exhibition, Treasured Ornament: 10 Centuries of Islamic Art, ends on October 20th.
The Quartet talks about their collaboration with local Iranian composer, Reza Vali, in a concert of Persian music about 10 years ago, and how that started a long collaboration with the composer that inspired their upcoming concert. They also talk about working with Santur player, Dariush Saghafi, in this concert.
A pre-performance discussion will be led by WQED's own Jim Cunningham, and guests will be able to converse with the musicians after the concert.
