Nuevo
The music of contemporary Mexico is as vibrant and diverse as the country itself. This Sunday, the eve of Cinco de Mayo, Kronos Quartet performs "Nuevo," a multi-textured program embracing Mexico's kaleidoscopic musical soul. We'll hear works by Severiano Briseño, Agustín Lara, Chalino Sánchez, and others, most in arrangements by Osvaldo Golijov. Alberto Domínguez's Perfidia—which first enchanted Kronos violinist David Harrington when he heard it played on an ivy leaf by a Mexico City street performer—and the 1968 piece Mini Skirt by Juan García Esquivel, "king of space-age bachelor pad music," typify the breadth of Kronos' bold explorations.

Back Porch Harmony
Sometimes all we really need is to sit on the back porch and listen to friends play music. This week on Saint Paul Sunday, we get that chance when two of America's musical treasures, doublebass virtuoso Edgar Meyer and mandolinist and guitiarist Mike Marshall, bring us several of their own arrangments and compositions: a vivid quiltwork of classical and other styles. Pull up a chair.

Converging Lines
For a quarter century, the Emerson String Quartet has led audiences into profound encounters with composers central to its repertoire. This week on Saint Paul Sunday, the renowned ensemble gives us peak examples of four--Haydn, Beethoven, Bartók, and Shostakovich--and flavors the mix with an American twist: music by Charles Ives and doublebass virtuoso Edgar Meyer, who joins the Emerson in a performance of his own "Quintet for String Quartet and Doublebass."
