Colorado Quartet performs here as part of Franklin Chamber
Music series |
The New York-based Colorado Quartet,
which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, will
perform as part of the Franklin College Chamber Music
Series in Hodgson Hall May 1 at 8 p.m. The concert
is free.
The quartet regularly performs in major concert halls
around the world, including tours of more than 20 countries.
The ensemble recently performed a Beethoven cycle in Berlin,
the first by an all-female quartet in Europe.
For this concert they will be performing the Haydn Quartet
in F Major, Op. 74, No. 2; Bartók’s
Quartet No. 3, and the Brahms Quartet in C minor,
Op. 51, No. 1.
In a 10-day period in 1983, the Colorado Quartet made
history by winning two of the music world’s highest
honors: the Naumburg Chamber Music Award and first prize
at the Banff International String Quartet Competition.
Since that time, the quartet has been praised on four
continents as one of the finest quartets of our time,
cited for its musical integrity, impassioned playing,
and lyrical finesse.
The Colorado Quartet has been featured on radio and television
worldwide, with numerous radio broadcasts in America,
England and Canada as well as television programs in the
Netherlands, Japan, Norway, Puerto Rico, Peru and Mexico.
The quartet’s 1999 CD of the works of Henry Cowell
won a Critics’ Choice Award in Gramophone magazine,
and their release of Schubert’s Death and the
Maiden and the Mendelssohn Quartet, Op. 80,
won a 2001 CMA/WQXR Recording Award.
The members of the Colorado Quartet are Julie Rosenfeld
(violin), Deborah Redding (violin), Marka Gustavsson (viola)
and Diane Chaplin (cello). They currently serve as quartet-in-residence
at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. |

Art exhibitions.
Enlightenment through the Lens: Vintage
Photographs c. 1840–1920 from the Lamar Dodd School of Art
Collection. Through April 30.
Broad Street Gallery, 257 W. Broad St., open weekdays,
8 a.m.–5 p.m. Sponsored by School of Art. 542-0069.
This exhibition of photographs and photographic objects made between
1840 and 1920 in Europe and America demonstrates the numerous ways
in which early photographers represented their worlds, a role which
photography still plays today. Through a variety of materials, processes,
and visual forms, these photographs create strikingly different
“realities” that often responded to their audiences’
preconceptions and desires.
This collection, assembled by Emeritus Professor Robert Nix and
individual donations, is used for teaching purposes in the School
of Art, and here is exhibited to the public for the first time.
Alisa Luxenberg, associate professor of art history, and Mary Ruth
Moore, senior lecturer in photography, organized the exhibition.

Bellows is well-known for his gritty urban scenes, but this exhibition
will focus exclusively on his years in Woodstock, N.Y. It was a
period of tremendous growth and development that changed his palette

his best work, including Elinor,
Jean and Anna, often considered an
American masterpiece.
The exhibition, the first to focus on Bellows at Woodstock, includes
more than 65 works of art—paintings, drawings and lithographs—created
by Bellows and his contemporaries between 1920 and 1924.

Beyond Bollywood: Contemporary
Indian Film Festival.
Mr. and Mrs. Iyer,
directed by Aparna Sen (120 minutes, 2003). 6 p.m. 171 Student
Learning Center. Sponsored by English department. 542-3320.
With the opening montage depicting the World Trade Center attacks
and the specter of the Gujarat carnage in India, the film mirrors
a frightening reality: contemporary religious polarization.
The film is based on a journey that goes awry, unendingly layered
with undercurrents of violence. Meenakshi Iyer, a staunch Hindu
Brahmin, is on her way to Kolkata (Calcutta) with her baby, and
photographer Raja Chowdhary, a Muslim, is on the bus with her.
The bus runs into trouble at a riot-affected spot where Hindu extremists
are retaliating for an injury and baying for Muslim blood.
At the 55th Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland,
Sen bagged the Junior Jury second prize for the best director and
the Netpac Jury prize for her “courage in raising an issue
of relevance in a work of cinematic density.”

Southern India, 1930s: Kunhikuttan is the son of a low-caste woman,
Baghi, a servant to Namboothiri, the lord of the manor. Namboothiri
is Kunhikuttan’s father, but Baghi refuses to reveal the truth
to her son.
At age 10, Kunhikuttan begins the long and arduous apprenticeship

After some years, Kunhikuttan’s talent is widely recognized.
