Meet the Prometheus Quartet — an ensemble of exceptional young Music Academy alums selected through a national search as the Academy’s inaugural Emerging Artists String Quartet. United in the fall of 2023 at The Juilliard School, the Prometheus Quartet is inspired by the myth of Prometheus, striving to bring the gift of music to others. Beethoven’s String Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 18, No. 6, provides a foundation which inspired Caroline Shaw’s Blueprint, a contemporary piece connecting past and present.

The Cuesta College Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, and Cuesta Voce, under the direction of John Knutson, present an evening of classical and jazz choral music. Join us for this evening of wonderful tunes.
