ROCO Connections: Quartet for All Time

Due to the incoming winter weather and out of an abundance of caution, Texas Southern University, our venue host for ROCO Connections: Quartet for All Time, has canceled all events on campus for Saturday, January 24.

**We will, however, be recording the ROCO Co-Commissioned Premiere of James Stephenson’s new work, Quartet for a New Tomorrow. We will be able to share this with you very soon.**

All purchased tickets will be refunded.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you at a future ROCO concert!

ROCO’s Connections Series continues with Quartet for All Time, a program of emotional resonance. Through a selection of thoughtfully curated works, this concert exhibits music’s power to reflect and uplift in times of grief and remembrance.

Featuring Rebecca Fischer (violin), Alexis Gerlach (cello), Nathan Williams (clarinet), and Audrey Andrist (piano), the evening honors personal and collective memory through music that speaks across generations and traditions, inviting audiences to reflect on the role of music in preserving hope and history.

Co-commissioned by ROCO, the quartet premieres composer James Stephenson’s new work Quartet for a New Tomorrow, written as a companion piece to Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time.

Running Time:
5:00-7:00 pm
