CANYON, Texas - Three eras of music will come to life in Harrington String Quartet's season-ending concert.

The quartet will offer its "Delectable" concert at 7:30 p.m. April 26 in Mary Moody Northen Recital Hall on WT's Canyon campus.

"Our audience should delight in these three works, each of which represents a different era of musical aesthetics," said Rositza Jekova-Goza, violin.

The quartet will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Quartet No. 21 in D Major, "Violet": Samuel Barber's famous "Adagio for Strings"; and Anton Arensky's romantic Piano Quintet, featuring Bulgarian Ludmil Angelov, who previously performed a Franz Schmidt composition with the quartet.

Single tickets are $20 or free for WT students, faculty and staff with a Buff Gold Card. Tickets will be available at showtix4u.com, in the School of Music office or at the door. For information, call 806-651-2840.

The quartet includes, in addition to Jekova-Goza, Evgeny Zvonnikov, violin; Vesselin Todorov, viola; and Emmanuel Lopez, cello. Each are lecturers in WT's School of Music, as well; Lopez also is a Periman Distinguished Artist.

HSQ was established by a generous gift from the late Sybil B. Harrington to benefit the Panhandle community. From its founding in 1981, the quartet has brought stellar credentials and a refined sense of ensemble and musical integrity to performances across the nation and internationally.

HSQ's collaborative recording with the Phoenix Chorale, "Northern Lights," was distinguished as iTunes's Best Classical Vocal Album of 2012. In 2005, the quartet also released a Grammy-nominated album of works by American composer Daniel McCarthy on the Albany Records label.

Fostering an appreciation of the arts is a key component of the University's long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.

That plan is fueled by the historic One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which reached its initial $125 million goal 18 months after publicly launching in September 2021. The campaign's new goal is to reach $175 million by 2025; currently, it has raised more than $150 million.
