Hailed by the Boston Globe as “alight with the spirit of the music,” bass-baritone Dashon Burton is known for performances that move fluidly between the worlds of Bach, spirituals, contemporary music, and the concert repertoire of the great orchestral tradition. A three-time GRAMMY Award winner, Burton has built an international career as a concert soloist, collaborative musician, and educator.

In addition to performances of the complete Beethoven and Bartok quartets, the Calder String Quartet’s dedication to commissioning new works has given rise to premieres of dozens of string quartets by established and up-and-coming composers. Inspired by innovative American artist Alexander Calder, the Calder Quartet’s desire to bring immediacy and context to the works they perform creates an artfully crafted musical experience.

Together, Burton and Calder present a program including Thomas Adès’ Arcadiana, Barber’s Dover Beach, Op. 3, Jessie Montgomery’s Loisaida, my love, Carline Shaw’s By and By, Schubert’s String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D. 810 “Death and the Maiden,” and Christopher Cerrone’s Quintet.
