The Quartet’s members represent four different nations, with their cultural cooperation and cohesiveness earning the group a reputation as one of the most distinguished ensembles on the chamber music scene today. The Verona Quartet was the recipient of Chamber Music America’s prestigious 2020 Cleveland Quartet Award and strives for a dynamic, imaginative approach to collaboration and programming that champions cross-cultural and interdisciplinary enterprises in addition to promoting contemporary music. For its Stamford engagement, the Quartet will play String Quartet No. 1 in E-flat Major, Op. 12 by Felix Mendelssohn, String Quartet No. 4 by Grażyna Bacewicz, and String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132 by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Kitchen Theatre Company presents The Turnaway Play by Lesley Lisa Greene May 8 - May 19, 2024Evening performances 7 pm, matinee performances 2 pm
An urgent issue comes to life onstage
Lesley Greene was inspired by Diana Greene Foster’s groundbreaking Turnaway Study, which followed 1,000 women over ten years and reached the first definitive scientific conclusions about the consequences for women’s lives of either having or being denied abortions. Greene transforms the real-life stories into a powerful drama animated by characters whose diverse circumstances reflect the scope of womens’ experiences. With honesty and humor, the play reaches beyond our polarizing political conversation to look deeply into one of the most important and urgent issues of our time.
