On Sunday March 22nd at 3pm, the Newport String Project will present a free community concert featuring its resident ensemble the Newport String Quartet, alongside internationally acclaimed guest musicians in the stunning setting of Ochre Court at Salve Regina University.

The centerpiece of the concert will be a performance of Frank Bridge’s String Sextet in E flat. The Newport String Quartet will be joined by celebrated guest artists Jesse Holstein (viola) and Elizabeth Cook (cello). This sweeping, magnificent masterpiece was first performed in 1912 and thanks to increased interest in Frank Bridge’s compositions in recent years, this rarely heard gem is finally taking its rightful place in the repertoire. A highlight of the Newport String Project’s season each year, this free community concert offers audiences the extraordinary opportunity to experience rarely heard works in a setting that is both intimate and breathtaking.
