The aptly named Contrasts Quartet, which includes a clarinet, a violin, a cello, and a piano, is bringing their exhilarating repertoire of old classics and new music to Bergen County. This extraordinary ensemble of four women always puts on an innovative show mixing duos, trios, and quartets that appeal to a broad range of audience members.

The Contrasts Quartet – which performed across the United States and Europe and has appeared on WNYC radio and the syndicated live classical show, St. Paul Sunday – will be in Bergen County to showcase their virtuosic talent as part of the Sunday Sounds series in Bergen Community College’s 2005-2006 Performing Arts program, “This & That from Here & There.” Call Bergen’s Office of Community and Cultural Affairs at 201-447-7428 or visit www.bergen.edu/community_events for the full schedule of shows.
