“Dence Str”

The "Dence Str" (see photo below) had a great weekend in NYC, presenting their "Dvorak in America" program at Peter Norton Symphony Space and the Third Street Music School Settlement.

1. We enjoyed seeing the Providence String Quartet's name in lights outside Symphony Space on the electronic event banner.
2. Jesse warming up backstage before the concert with his 17-page treatise on "Dvorak in America" in the foreground.
3. On stage with bass-baritone (and CMW parent) Frank Ward performing music by H. T. Burleigh
4. Jam session on stage after the concert with teens from the Harlem Children's Zone TRUCE program and teens from The Brotherhood Sister Sol, another wonderful Harlem program that the PSQ visited last January [see blog posting here].
5. PSQ performing Dvorak at the Third Street Music School Settlement where Jessie spent her youngest years as a budding musician.
6. Group shot with Antonin Dvorak, a highlight of Jesse's carefully planned walking tour of Dvorak's life on the lower East Side.
