Of Note for Wednesday, June 24, 2015: Verdi's Intimacies

Verdi's string quartet is his sole chamber work, which he wrote while waiting for the Naples premiere of Aida. In his own words Verdi says he penned the gem in his "leisure moments."

Artosphere Festival Orchestra of 2015 presents a full string orchestra version of this work in tonight's Transfigured Night performance in the Great Hall of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art that will broadcast live tonight here on KUAF from 8 to 10 p.m. Hear the original string quartet from the Juilliard String Quartet on Wednesday's program.
