New Century String Quartet
The New Century String Quartet will celebrate
its 10th season with a potpourri of NCSQ commissions from Indiana
composers James Beckel, Peter Hansen and Chris Rutkowski. Paying
tribute to children of the world who constantly inspire us to
reach for our dreams, a newly commissioned work by Frank Felice
will receive its premiere, and the ensemble will also play Heitor
Villa-Lobos’ String Quartet No. 5 of 1931, based on Brazilian
children’s songs.
The New Century's founders, violinist Dean Franke and violist
Susan Chan put away their music stands long enough to come to
our studios to talk with Sharon Gamble about why they founded
the ensemble, how they balance their "day jobs" with
the ISO and their chamber music, and why college is the most
expensive dating service. Violinist Louise Alexander and cellist
Dennis McCafferty are the other half of the New Century String
Quartet. You can hear the NCSQ's 10th anniversary concert for
free on March 22 at 7:30 pm, at the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts
Center at the University of Indianapolis. You can learn more
about the ensemble by visiting ncsq.wordpress.com
