Cassatt Quartet with Doris Stevenson

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | The Bennington College Carriage Barn Music Series presents a concert by the Cassatt Quartet with Doris Stevenson.

Hailed for its “mighty rapport and relentless commitment,” the Cassatt String Quartet is named for Mary Cassatt, the great painter who – in addition to being the only American to exhibit in Paris alongside the Impressionists – did devoted, lifelong work in support of women’s equality and right to vote. Joyfully celebrating its 40th year, the Cassatt Quartet returns to Bennington with an exciting program featuring Bennington alum Joan Tower '61's String Quartet No. 7, Mozart's String Quartet in D Minor, K421, and Bennington music faculty member Allen Shawn's Piano Quintet featuring Doris Stevenson on piano.  

The Cassatt Quartet has performed throughout the world for four decades, with appearances at Alice Tully Hall and Weill Recital Hall, Tanglewood Music Center, the Kennedy Center, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Centro National de las Artes, Maeda Hall, and Beijing’s Central Conservatory.
