Violist Michael Tree, a founding member of the Guarneri Quartet, will perform in Brattleboro this evening as part of the Schumann Trio, with Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinetist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and pianist Anna Polonsky. The formation of the Guarneri Quartet at the Marlboro Festival in 1964 is background for the new novel by VPR commentator Deborah Luskin, Into the Wilderness, which is available as a thank-you gift during the current membership drive. We’ll listen to the Guarneri Quartet play Beethoven.
