Ganz Hall- Roosevelt University, 7th floor, 430 S Michigan Ave, 7th floor, Chicago, IL

The American Music Project’s 10th anniversary season will open June 1 at Ganz Hall with the Kontras Quartet in their third consecutive AMP appearance. The program will include Bernard Herrmann’s Echoes for String Quartet, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s Voyage (Quartet No. 3), Arthur Foote’s String Quartet No. 1, and works by Quincy Porter and Jonathan Blumhofer. “For the first time we will be doing a 19th-century American work with the Foote quartet,” said Johnson. “And I’m delighted that we can mark the 85th birthday of Ellen Zwilich with her wonderful Voyage.”
