Known for their flamboyant and dynamic style, Harlem Quartet advances diversity in classical music while engaging audiences with underperformed repertoire. From their 2009 performance for former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama to a highly successful South African tour, the quartet performs around the world with such distinguished artists as Itzhak Perlman, Ida Kavafian, Jeremy Denk, Chick Corea and, as in this program, Aldo López-Gavilán.

The annual winter concert presented by the UMD School of Music’s two student directed a cappella ensembles is always a special evening of music making. Join us in the beautiful acoustic of the UMD Memorial Chapel for this event.
