The Bohemian Quartet is a string ensemble (violin, viola, cello, and bass) that specializes in Eastern European folk music, particularly of the Romany or “Gypsy” tradition. Students in two upper elementary schools will attend a performance by the Bohemian Quartet, followed by an interactive lecture/demonstration in which the performers will talk about the music in its cultural context and demonstrate the musical idioms as a group. Students in the music programs of the middle and high schools will attend a performance and interactive lecture demonstration, followed by a workshop. This engagement will be highly-engaging, educational, and enriching.
