When you think about the lofty "pandemic projects" about which you've heard, few will compare to that of today's guest on High Plains Morning. We were thrilled to welcome musician and craftsman Kruno Kupresanin into the studio, also known as "the man who built new instruments for the eintire Harrington String Quartet to play at this Friday night's concert." (Yes, you read that correctly.)
So please don't miss this FINAL CONCERT of Chamber Music Amarillo's 24th season on Friday, April 8th at 7:30p CT at the Amarillo Botanical Gardens (1400 Streit Dr, Amarillo); the pre-concert lecture starts at 6:45p CT. Among other pieces, the show will spotlight Schubert's Double Cello Quintet, which is considered a work that perfectly blends the instruments—a perfect way to close the 24th season! Plus, the program will feature a fascinating slide show of the process by which Kruno designed and assembled these exquisite instruments.
