Quartet for the End of Time
Fall/Winter 2020
Olivier Messiaen composed and premiered the Quartet for the End of Time in 1941 under the harsh conditions of Stalag VIII/A, a prisoner of war camp in Silesia. Music for Montauk brings this revelatory work to Camp Hero in a special film project recorded live in Montauk. A truly "Made in Montauk" production. Stay tuned for upcoming offerings from this project in December and a January premiere!

The Overlook Quartet in a live virtual performance
Summer 2020
The Overlook, formed in response to the Black Lives Matter movement, is a string quartet dedicated to performing concert music by Black composers. They can be found playing open-air concerts for their neighbors in upper Manhattan, collaborating with living Black composers and songwriters, seeking out more wrongfully overlooked music to add to their quickly-growing repertoire. Prior to the COVID-19 shutdown of the performing arts, the quartet’s members (violinists Monica Davis and Adda Kridler, violist Angela Pickett and cellist Laura Metcalf) enjoyed busy performance schedules both on tour internationally with chamber groups such as award-winning string quintet Sybarite5 and in the orchestras of top Broadway musicals.
