VCU Arts Music is excited to welcome the Eastern Boundary Quartet as a Guest Artist. The Quartet will perform on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. in the Singleton Center for the Performing Arts.
The Eastern Boundary Quartet, founded in 2007, is a collaborative quartet featuring Hungarian master musicians, drummer Balázs Bagyi and saxophonist Mihály Borbély, and the long-standing bass/piano partnership of New York City bassist Joe Fonda and pianist Michael Jefry Stevens.
The quartet is a unique collaboration of avant-garde jazz and ethno music from Hungary, a cultural bridge between the USA and Eastern-Europe. This bridge is made of talent, respect, brotherhood and friendship, built by the common language of jazz and improvised music. In their repertoire of original music they use Hungarian folk rhythms and melodies with jazz harmonies and rhythms to form an original ‘hybrid’ improvised music.
Since 2007 the quartet has toured Europe and the United States numerous times and released four CDs.
This concert is funded by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
This event is free and open to the public. You can watch this event online at go.vcu.edu/concerthall
