This year’s course, entitled Collaborations will feature our very own Portland String Quartet as well as Brother Arnold Hadd of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Community to discuss the fascinating history and the individuals behind the Shaker Hymns; Bowdoin student and cellist, Maren Askins will assist in demonstrating the important differences between solo performance and group dynamics in ensemble work; and at the last session Maine State Historian, Earle Shettleworth will discuss the history and cultural climate of Maine and the City of Portland.

The members of the Portland String Quartet combine a dedication to teaching with a successful and long-lived international performing career. Prior to the Quartet's inception in l969 the quartet members were separately involved with "Young Audiences" - a national organization headquartered in New York City that trained young professional musicians to reach students of all ages. This hands-on, interactive approach continues to be a vital aspect of the PSQ's performing and teaching style.
