On Saturday, March 18, the Haven String Quartet and pianist Andrius Zlabys mark their return to Arts in the Village with a beautiful and evocative program featuring Gabriel Fauré’s Piano Quintet No. 1 in D Minor and George Walker’s Lyric for Strings. Fauré’s Quintet, is filled with mesmerizing and haunting writing for both strings and piano, while Walker’s breathtaking Lyric for Strings is dedicated to his formerly enslaved grandmother.
