On December 5 at 7:30 p.m., the quartet performs highlights from Dvořák's Cypresses cycle alongside Daniel Strong Godfrey's Towards Light with guitarist Eliot Fisk at Bohemian National Hall (321 E 73rd St). "Inspired by Dvořák: From Chamber Music to Jazz" is a celebration of 20 years of the Dvořák American Heritage Association (DAHA) concerts at the hall and is dedicated to Dvořák's legacy in composing, teaching, and inspiring music in all its diverse forms. The evening also features jazz saxophonist James Brandon Lewis performing his work Red Lilly and selections from his new album “Calling Antonín."
The following weekend, on December 13 at 5 pm, the Cassatts perform in Washington Heights at the intimate space at The Lounge at Hudson View Gardens (128 Pinehurst Ave.). The program features selections from Dvořák's Cypresses cycle, alongside Mozart's String Quartet No. 15 in D minor, and Florence Price's 5 Folk Songs in Counterpoint.
Also on December 13, the quartet heads to the Upper West Side to perform the NYC premiere of Gerald Cohen's Hineni (Here Am I) with shofar player Bar Zemach and pianist Jascha Nemtsov at 7 pm at the Ansche Chesed Synagogue (251 W 100th St.).
