The Binghamton Philharmonic Orchestra presents a chamber concert by the Castalia String Quartet in the Ballroom of the Phelps Mansion Museum, 191 Court Street in downtown Binghamton. We hear from violinist Uli Speth about the program, which reflects the suggestion from Antonin Dvorak that American composers should write music that springs from American folk music.
